Smile Shutter™
Use the Smile Shutter™ function to determine what kind of smile the camera reacts
to before taking a photo.
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.
ISO
The ISO sensitivity can be set to adjust automatically, or can be manually adjusted to
sensitivity settings ranging from 100 to 3200.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Metering
This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the
amount of light striking the subject you want to capture.
Centre
Determines the exposure based on the brightness of the centre of the subject.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure on a small part of the subject that you want to capture.
Average
Calculates the exposure based on the amount of light striking the whole subject.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Flash
Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a
backlight. The following options are available when you tap the flash icon
camera screen:
Auto
The camera automatically determines whether the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.
Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This setting removes unwanted
dark shadows.
Red-eye reduction
Reduces the red colour of eyes when taking a photo.
Off
The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting
conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the
self-timer to avoid blurred photos.
Torch
The flash shines continuously while taking pictures.
Scene selection
Use the Scene selection feature to quickly set up the camera for common situations
using pre-programmed scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you
to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo.

The Scene selection feature is off and you can take photos manually.
