Exposure value

amount of light.

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.

When taking a photo, it can be difficult to hold the phone steady. The stabiliser helps
you by compensating for small movements of the hand.

amount of light striking the image you want to capture.
