Configuring settings for Camera
→
Tap to configure settings for Camera. Not all of the following options are available
in both still camera and video camera modes. The available options vary depending on the
mode used.
• P hoto size / Video size: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. But it
takes up more memory.
• F ocus mode: Select a focus mode. Auto focus is camera-controlled. Macro is for very
close objects.
• M etering: Select a metering method. This determines how light values are calculated.
Centre-weighted measures background light in the centre of the scene. Spot measures
the light value at a specific location. Matrix averages the entire scene.
• I SO: Select an ISO value. This controls camera 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.
• G PS tag: Attach a GPS location tag to the photo.
• T o improve GPS signals, avoid shooting in locations where the signal may be
obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas, or in poor weather
conditions.
• Y our location may appear on your photos when you upload them to the Internet.
To avoid this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.
• V olume key: Set the device to use the Volume button to control the shutter or zoom
function.
• T imer: Use this for delayed-time shots.
• W hite balance: Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life colour
range. The settings are designed for specific lighting situations. These settings are similar
to the heat range for white-balance exposure in professional cameras.
• E xposure value: Change the exposure value. This determines how much light the
camera's sensor receives. For low-light situations, use a higher exposure.
• G uidelines: Display viewfinder guides to help composition when selecting subjects.
• F lash: Activate or deactivate the flash.
