Photo light

Use the light to record videos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight.

Sometimes the video quality can be better without a light, even if lighting conditions are poor.

Metering

This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the amount of light striking the image you want to capture.

Centre

Average

Calculate the exposure based on the amount of light striking the whole image.

You can also select which face to focus on by tapping it on the screen. When you tap the camera screen, a green frame shows which face is selected and in focus. Face detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is on.
