Configuring settings for Camera
Tap
→
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.
•
Photo size
/
Video size
: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. But it
takes up more memory.
•
Focus mode
: Select a focus mode.
Auto focus
is camera-controlled.
Macro
is for very
close objects.
•
Metering
: 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.
•
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.
•
GPS tag
: Attach a GPS location tag to the photo.
•
To improve GPS signals, avoid shooting in locations where the signal may be
obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas, or in poor weather
conditions.
•
Your location may appear on your photos when you upload them to the Internet.
To avoid this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.
•
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 colour
range. The settings are designed for specific lighting situations. These settings are similar
to the heat range for white-balance exposure in professional cameras.
