Manual mode
Use Manual mode when you want to manually adjust your camera settings for photos
and videos.
AR effect
You can apply AR (augmented reality) effects to your photos or videos and make them
more fun. When using the camera, this setting lets you integrate 3D scenes into your
photos or videos. Just select the scene you want and adjust its position in the viewfinder.
Creative effect
You can apply different effects on your photos or videos. Add a Nostalgic effect to make
photos look older, or a Sketch effect for a more fun image.

an easy press-and-sweep motion.

Background Defocus Mode
Use your camera's blurred background effect to make your subjects look sharper and
more vivid in comparison with their background. In Background defocus mode, the
camera takes two shots, identifies the background, and then blurs it while keeping the
subject sharp and in focus, like shooting with a digital SLR camera. You can select from
three different blur variations and tune the blur level in the preview display.
Face in Picture
You can use the Face in Picture mode to turn on the front and main cameras at the same
time, so you can take a photo of yourself together with the subject.
Multi-Camera Mode
Multi-camera mode lets you take a photo that combines images from two different
angles and devices. You see two images in the camera viewfinder of your device—one
from your own camera and one from a connected Xperia™ device or a Sony camera that
supports NFC and Wi-Fi Direct™ technology. You can then edit what you see in the
viewfinder before taking a photo.
