Colour and lighting settings
In the active toolbar, select from the following:
● Flash mode (
) (image only) — Select the
desired flash mode.
● Colour tone (
) — Select a colour effect.
● Switch video light on or Switch video light off
— Switch the video light on or off (video mode
only).
● White balance (
) — Select the current
lighting condition. This allows the camera to
reproduce colours more accurately.
● Exposure compensation (
) (image only) — If
you are shooting a dark subject against a very
light background, such as snow, adjust the
exposure to +1 or +2 to compensate for the
background brightness. For light subjects
against a dark background, use -1 or -2.
● Sharpness (
) (image only) — Adjust the
sharpness of the image.
● Contrast (
) (image only) — Adjust the
difference between the lightest and darkest
parts of the image.
● Light sensitivity (
) (image only) — Increase
the light sensitivity in low light conditions to
avoid too dark images.
The screen display changes to match the settings
you make.
The available settings vary depending on the
selected camera.
The setup settings are shooting-mode specific.
Switching between the modes does not reset the
defined settings.
The setup settings return to the default settings
when you close the camera.
If you select a new scene, the colour and lighting
settings are replaced by the selected scene. You can
change the setup settings after selecting a scene if
needed.
Video settings
To change the main settings, in the video mode,
select Options > Settings and from the following:
● Video quality — Set the quality of the video clip.
Select Sharing, if you want to send the video clip
using a multimedia message. The clip is recorded

is limited to 300 kB (approximately 30 seconds).
You may not be able to send video clips saved in
the MPEG-4 format in a multimedia message.
● Record location — To add GPS location
coordinates to each file, select Yes. Receiving the
GPS signal may take time or the signal may not
be available.
See "Location information", p. 81.
