To use more options, tap
• Palm selfie: Set the device to detect your palm, so you can use it to take self-portraits.
• Beauty face: Set the device to take a photo with lightened faces for gentler images.
• Exposure value: Change the exposure value. This determines how much light the
camera's sensor receives. If the image is too dark, use a higher exposure.
• 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.
• White balance: Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life colour
range. The settings are designed for specific lighting situations. These settings are similar
to the heat range for white-balance exposure in professional cameras.
• Metering modes: Select a metering method. This determines how light values are
calculated. Centre-weighted measures light over the entire area, with emphasis on the
centre of the screen. Spot measures the light value over a small area at the centre of the
screen. 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. But it takes up
more memory.
• Recording mode: Change the recording mode.
