Exposure value
Determine the amount of light in the photo you want to take. A higher value indicates an increased
amount of light.
This setting is only available in Normal capturing mode.
HDR
Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to take a photo against strong back light
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 Normal capturing mode.
Image stabiliser
When taking a photo, it can be difficult to hold the device steady. The stabiliser helps
you by compensating for small movements of the hand.
Metering
This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the
amount of light striking the image you want to capture.
