Tap
to configure settings for Camera. Not all of the following options are available
in both still camera and video camera modes. The available options vary depending on the
mode used.
• P hoto size / Video size: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. But it
takes up more memory.
• T ap to take pics: Tap the image on the preview screen to take photos.
• F ace detection: Set the device to recognise people's faces and help you take photos of
them.
• M etering modes: Select a metering method. This determines how light values are
calculated. Centre-weighted measures background light in the centre of the scene. Spot
measures the light value at a specific location. Matrix averages the entire scene.

camera equivalents. Low values are for stationary or brightly-lit objects. Higher values are
for fast-moving or poorly-lit objects.

moving.

rich tone photo.

obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas, or in poor weather
conditions.
