People, Selfies And Smiling Faces - Sony Xperia L3 User Manual

ISO
ISO determines how sensitive your camera is to light. A low ISO number means
lower sensitivity, and a high ISO number means higher sensitivity. Higher
sensitivity can add blur to your photos.
Choose a higher ISO value when taking photos of moving objects or when taking
photos in low light without the flash.
If there is too much light, use the lowest ISO setting to achieve a higher image
quality.
ISO is automatically adjusted when taking photos and videos.
White balance
White balance is automatically adjusted when taking photos and videos.
Optimising exposure
Exposure metering measures the amount of light that strikes an object, to optimise
exposure.
Exposure metering is automatically adjusted when taking photos and videos.

People, selfies and smiling faces

Faces in focus are indicated with a coloured frame.
