Still camera settings
The following settings appear in the camera viewfinder when you tap the settings button
:
Scene mode
Use the Scenes feature to quickly set up the camera for common situations using pre-programmed
scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best
possible photo. Select how the camera adjusts colours in different kinds of light, to achieve the most
natural looking colours for your photos.
Auto The camera automatically adjusts settings for a photo.
Action Use for photos of fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimises motion blurring.
Night Use when taking photos at night or in poorly lit environments (without the photo light). Due to long
exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.
Camera settings
Picture size Set the picture size for the photos you take. A photo with a higher resolution requires more
memory.
Store location Select if you want the geographical location to be added when you take a photo.
Focus mode The focus settings control which part of a photo should be sharp.
Restore defaults Restore the camera settings to the default values.
Exposure
Adjust the exposure for the photos you take.
Flash mode
Select how the flash should be used.
Auto The camera relies on its light meter to decide whether or not a flash is necessary.
On Use the flash.
Off Don't use the flash. Sometimes photo quality can be better without a flash, even if lighting
conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand.
White balance
Select how the camera adjusts colours in different kinds of light, to achieve the most natural looking
colours for your photos.
Auto Adjust the colour balance automatically to the lighting conditions.
Incandescent Adjust the colour balance for bright lighting conditions, such as under light bulbs, or
