Camera
•
Photo size: Select a resolution. Use higher
resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution
pictures take up more memory.
•
Face detection: Detect faces in pictures for
tagging with the person's name.
•
Metering modes: Select a metering
method. This determines how light values
are calculated. Center-weighted measures
background light in the center of the scene.
Spot measures the light value at a specific
location. Matrix averages the entire scene.

light sensitivity. It is measured in film-camera
equivalents. Low values are for stationary or
brightly-lit objects. Higher values are for fast-
moving or poorly-lit objects.
•
Anti-shake: compensates for camera
movement.
•
Save as: Assign rich tone usage to an image.
Video Recorder
•
