Sony 1290-0538 Cell Phone User Manual


 
Spot
Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture.
Face
Measures the amount of light on the face, and adjusts the exposure so that the face is neither too dark or
too bright.
Multi
Divides the image into multiple regions, and measures each region to determine a well-balanced
exposure.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Image stabiliser
When taking a photo, it can be difficult to hold the device steady. The stabiliser helps
you by compensating for small movements of the hand.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Preview
You can choose to preview photos just after you shoot them.
Unlimited
The preview of the photo or video appears after you shoot it.
5 seconds
The preview of the photo or video appears for 5 seconds after you shoot it.
3 seconds

Edit
The photo or video opens for editing after you shoot it.
Off
The photo or video is saved after you shoot it, and no preview appears.
Face recognition
You can register faces in the Camera application so that the camera automatically
focuses on these faces when they appear in the viewfinder.
Flash
Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a
backlight. The following options are available when you tap the flash icon on the
camera screen:
Auto
The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.
Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This setting removes unwanted
dark shadows.
Red-eye reduction
Reduces the red colour of eyes when taking a photo.
Off
The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting
conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the
self-timer to avoid blurred photos.
Torch
The flash light is turned on when you take photos.
