Camera and Camcorder Settings

This section describes the different settings that you can
configure on your camera. Not all of the following options are
available in both still camera and video camera modes. The
available options vary by mode.
1. From the viewfinder, tap
(Camera Settings).
2. The follow settings are located under the Camera,
Camcorder, Share, and General tabs. The settings that
are displayed will depend on what camera mode you
are in.
Camera:
• Photo size: Select a resolution for photos. Use higher
resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution photos take up
more memory.
• Focus mode: allows you to adjust the camera focus
automatically or by using Macro.
• Metering: allows you to set how the camera measures or
meters the light source: Center-weighted, Matrix, or Spot.
(Quick Settings)
• ISO: determines how sensitive the light meter is on your digital
camera. Choose from Auto, 100, 200, or 400. Use a lower ISO
number to make your camera less sensitive to light, a higher
ISO number to take photos with less light, or Auto to let the
camera automatically adjust the ISO for each of your shots.
Camcorder:
• Video size: Select a resolution for videos. Use higher resolution
for higher quality. Higher resolution videos take up more
memory.
Settings:
• GPS tag: attach a GPS location tag to the photo. To improve
GPS signals, avoid shooting in locations where the signal may
be obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas,
or in poor weather conditions. Your location may appear on
your photos when you upload them to the Internet. To avoid
this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.
• Review: set this option if you want to view each picture after
you take it. Select a time value.
• Volume key: assigns a function to the volume key. Choose
from The zoom key, The camera key, or The record key.
