Select from the following:

— Select the scene.

— Switch between video and image mode.

or — Show or hide the viewfinder grid (images only).

— Activate the self-timer (images only).

— Open Gallery.

Image settings:

— Select a colour effect.

— Adjust the white balance. Select the current lighting

conditions. This allows the camera to reproduce colours more

accurately.

— Adjust the exposure compensation (images 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.

Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the light

sensitivity in low light conditions to avoid too dark images

and blurry images. Increasing the light sensitivity may also

increase the image noise.

Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the difference

between the lightest and darkest parts of the image.
Adjust sharpness (images only).
The screen display changes to match the settings you define.

The capture settings are shooting-mode specific. Switching

between the modes does not reset the defined settings.
If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced

by the selected scene. You can change the capture settings

after selecting a scene if needed.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change the

zoom, lighting, or colour settings.

Capture images

When capturing an image, note the following:
● Use both hands to keep the camera still.
● The quality of a digitally zoomed image is lower than that

of a non-zoomed image.

● The camera goes into battery saving mode if there are no

actions for about a minute. To continue capturing images,

slide the lock switch on the side of the device.

To capture an image:
1. To switch from video mode to image mode, if necessary,

select >

2. To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key

halfway down (not available in landscape or sport scene

modes). A green locked focus indicator is displayed. If the

focus was not locked, a yellow focus indicator is displayed.

Release the capture key, and press it halfway down again.

You can also capture an image without locking the focus.

3. To capture an image, press the capture key. Do not move

the device before the image is saved and the final image

displayed.
