Self-timer
With the self-timer, you can take a photo without holding the device. Use this function
to take self-portraits or group photos with everyone in the photo. You can also use
the self-timer if you want to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos.

Set a 3-second delay in taking the photo from when you tap the shutter button or press the camera key.

The photo is taken as soon as you tap the shutter button or press the camera key.
Soft Skin Effect
You can turn on the Soft Skin Effect on your device to make skin tones slightly
softened while taking selfies in Manual and Superior auto capturing modes.
Object tracking
When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for
you.
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.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
