— Select the scene.
or — Switch between video and image mode.
or — Show or hide the viewfinder grid (images only).
— Activate the self-timer (images only).
— Open Gallery.
Image settings:
— Select a colour effect.
— Adjust the white balance. Select the current lighting
conditions. This allows the camera to reproduce colours more
accurately.
— Adjust the exposure compensation (images only). If
you are shooting a dark subject against a very light
background, such as snow, adjust the exposure to +1 or +2
to compensate for the background brightness. For light
subjects against a dark background, use -1 or -2.
— Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the light
sensitivity in low light conditions to avoid too dark images
and blurry images. Increasing the light sensitivity may also
increase the image noise.
— Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the difference
between the lightest and darkest parts of the image.
— Adjust sharpness (images only).
The screen display changes to match the settings you define.
The capture settings are shooting-mode specific. Switching
between the modes does not reset the defined settings.

If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced
by the selected scene. You can change the capture settings
after selecting a scene if needed.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change the
zoom, lighting, or colour settings.

Capture images

When capturing an image, note the following:
● Use both hands to keep the camera still.
● The quality of a digitally zoomed image is lower than that
of a non-zoomed image.
● The camera goes into battery saving mode if there are no
actions for about a minute. To continue capturing images,
slide the lock switch on the side of the device.
To capture an image:
1. To switch from video mode to image mode, if necessary,
select .

2. To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key
halfway down (not available in landscape or sport scene
modes). A green locked focus indicator is displayed. If the
focus was not locked, a yellow focus indicator is displayed.
Release the capture key, and press it halfway down again.
You can also capture an image without locking the focus.
3. To capture an image, press the capture key. Do not move
the device before the image is saved and the final image
displayed.
To zoom in or out when capturing an image, use the zoom
key in your device.
