Sony Xperia XA Ultra F3211 User Manual page 100

Soft Skin Effect
You can turn on the Soft skin effect on your device to make skin tones slightly softened
while taking selfies in Manual and Superior auto capturing modes.
Object Tracking
When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for you.
HDR
Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to take a photo against strong backlight or in
conditions where the contrast is sharp. HDR compensates for the loss of detail and
produces a picture that is representative of both dark and bright areas.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
ISO
The ISO sensitivity can be set to adjust automatically, or can be manually adjusted to
sensitivity settings ranging from 100 to 3200.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Metering
This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the
amount of light striking the image you want to capture.
Face
Measures the amount of light on your subject's face, and adjusts the exposure so the face is neither too dark
nor too bright.
Center
Determines the center of the image, and sets the exposure based on the brightness of the subject there.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the subject that you want to capture.
Touch
Adjusts the exposure to the desired part of the subject when you touch the screen.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Flash
Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a
backlight. The following options are available when you tap the flash icon
camera screen:
Auto
The camera automatically determines whether the lighting conditions require the
use of a flash.
Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This setting
removes unwanted dark shadows.
Red-eye reduction
Reduces the red color of eyes when taking a photo.
Off
The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash,
even if lighting conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash
requires a steady hand. Use the self-timer to avoid blurred photos.
