Configuring Settings for Camera

Touch 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.

Camera:

•Photo size: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution photos take up more memory.

•Metering modes: 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.

Video recorder:

•Video size: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution videos take up more memory.

Settings:

•Location tag: Attach a GPS location tag to the photo.

Tip: Your location may appear on your photos when you upload them to the Internet. To avoid this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.

•Review pics/videos: Set to show photos or videos after taking them.

•Volume key: Set the device to use the Volume button to control the shutter or zoom function.

•Timer: Use this for delayed-time shots.

•White balance: Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life color range. The settings are designed for specific lighting situations. These settings are similar to the heat range for white-balance exposure in professional cameras.

•Brightness: Change the brightness value. This determines how much light the camera’s sensor receives. For low light situations, use a higher value.

•Guidelines: Display viewfinder guides to help composition when selecting subjects.

•Flash: Activate or deactivate the flash.
