Camera Settings
► Tap to configure settings for Camera. Not all of
the following options are available in both still
camera and video camera modes. The available
options vary depending on the mode used.
-
Picture size: Select a resolution. Use higher
resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution
photos take up more memory.

Burst shot: Take a series of photos of moving
subjects.

Picture stabilization: Activate anti-shake. Anti-
shake helps to keep the focus steady when
the camera is moving.
-
Face detection: Detect faces in pictures for
tagging with the person’s name.
-
ISO: Select an ISO value. This controls
camera light sensitivity. It is measured in
film-camera equivalents. Low values are for
stationary or brightly-lit objects. Higher values
are for fast-moving or poorly-lit objects.
-
Metering modes: Select a metering
method. This determines how light values
are calculated. Center-weighted measures
background light in the center of the scene.
Spot measures the light value at a specific
location. Matrix averages the entire scene.

Tap to take pics: Tap the image on the
preview screen to take photos.

-
Video size: Select a resolution. Use higher
resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution
videos take up more memory.

professional cameras.
