Camera and Video Settings

You can adjust your camera’s settings using the icons on the main camera screen and the full camera settings menu.

1.From a Home screen, tap Apps > Camera.

2.Tap Settings to configure settings for Camera. Available options vary depending on the camera or recording mode used.

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

•Burst shots: Take a series of pictures of moving subjects.

•Low-light detection: Automatically detects low light levels and adjusts the camera accordingly to take clear pictures.

•Face detection: Detect faces in pictures for tagging with the person’s name.

•ISO: 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.

•Metering modes: Select a metering method. This determines how light values are calculated. Center-weighted measures background light in the center of the scene. Spot measures the light value at a specific location. Matrix averages the entire scene.

•Tap to take pics: Tap anywhere on the screen to take a picture.

•Save as: Save picture in HDR (rich tone) only. Enables the light sensitivity and color depth features of the device to produce a brighter and richer picture.

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

•Recording mode: Select Normal, Limit for email, or Fast motion mode.

•Video stabilization: Activate or deactivate anti-shake. Anti-shake helps focus when the camera is moving.

•Effects: Access to pre-installed and downloaded effects.

•Flash: Activate or deactivate the flash.
