Video camera settings overview

Scenes

The Scenes feature helps you to quickly set up the camera for common situations using pre-programmed scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible video.

Off

The Scenes feature is off and you can shoot videos manually.

Portrait

Use for portrait videos. Settings are optimised to give slightly softer skin tones.

Landscape

Use for videos of landscapes. The camera focuses on distant objects. When Landscape is selected, focus mode is changed to Single autofocus.

Night

When turned on, light sensitivity is increased. Use in poorly lit environments. Videos of fast-moving objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support. Turn off night mode when lighting conditions are good, to improve the video quality.

Beach and snow

Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed videos.

Sports

Use for videos of fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimises motion blurring.

Party

Use for indoor videos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting or candlelight. Videos of fast-moving objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support.
