Metering
This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the
amount of light striking the image you want to capture.
Center
Adjusts the exposure to the center of the image.
Average
Calculates the exposure based on the amount of light striking the whole image.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
SteadyShot™
When recording a video, it can be difficult to hold the device steady. The stabilizer helps
you by compensating for small movements of the hand.
Microphone
Select whether to pick up the surrounding sound when recording videos.
Preview
You can choose to preview videos just after you shoot them.
On
The preview of the video appears after you shoot it.
Edit
The video opens for editing after you shoot it.
Off
The video is saved after you shoot it, and no preview appears.
Scene selection
The Scene selection feature helps you quickly set up the camera for common situations
using pre-programmed video scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for
you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible video.
Off
The Scene selection feature is off and you can shoot videos manually.
Soft snap
Use for shooting videos against soft backgrounds.
Landscape
Use for videos of landscapes. The camera focuses on distant objects.
Night
When turned on, light sensitivity is increased. Use in poorly lit environments. Videos of fast moving
objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support. Turn off night mode when lighting
conditions are good to improve the video quality.
Beach
Use for videos of seaside or lakeside scenes.
Snow
Use in bright environments to avoid overexposed videos.
Sports
Use for videoing fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimizes motion blurring.
Party
Use for indoor videos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting or
candlelight. Videos of fast moving objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
