Field of View
Your camera includes three FOV options for photos. All photos are captured
at 10 MP.
FOV Description
Largest field of view. Good for action shots to
capture as much as possible within the frame.
Wide This FOV results in a fisheye effect, especially
around the edge of the scene. (You can crop
that out during editing, if needed.)
Mid-range field of view. Has the effect of
Medium
zooming in on the centre of the shot.
Smallest field of view with reduced fisheye
distortion. Good for capturing content at a
Narrow
distance. Its most significant effect is that it
zooms in on the centre of the shot.

ADVANCED SETTINGS
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) retains a greater level of detail in the dark and
bright areas of an image. The result is a photo that is properly exposed for
both of these extremes. This setting is especially useful for scenes that are
backlit or that have large bright regions and a dark foreground.
WDR is available only for the Photo capture mode. The options for this
setting are Off (default) and On. To access this advanced setting, see
Navigating with the Touch Display (page 17).
