Description

Scenes

Use Scenes to quickly set up the camera for common

situations using pre-programmed scenes. The camera has

determined a number of settings for you to fit the selected

scene, ensuring the best possible photo.

Auto

The camera automatically adjusts settings for a photo.

Portrait

Use for portrait photos. Face detection is turned on. Settings

are optimised to give slightly softer skin tones.

Twilight portrait

Use for portrait photos at night or in poorly lit environments

(with or without the flash). Due to long exposure time, the

camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.

Sports

Use for photos of fast-moving objects. Short exposure time

minimises motion blurring.

Snow & beach

Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed photos.

Landscape

Use for landscape photos. The camera focuses on distant

objects. The flash is turned off.

Twilight landscape

Use when taking landscape photos at night or in poorly lit

environments (without the flash). Due to long exposure time,

the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.

Document

Use for photos of text or drawings. It gives the photo increased

and sharper contrast.

Focus

Focus controls which part of a photo should be sharp.

Auto

The camera automatically focuses on the selected subject.

The white focus frame turns green when focus is set.

Face detection

The camera automatically detects up to three human faces,

indicated by white frames. A green frame shows which face

has been selected when auto focus is used. Focus is set on

the face closest to the camera. Face detection cannot be used

for all scene types.

Macro

Auto focus for extreme close-up photos.

Infinite

Use when taking photos at a distance. Focus is set on subjects

far away. Subjects close to the camera may be blurred.

Flash

Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor.

Auto

The flash will automatically fire when lighting conditions are

poor.

Off

The flash never goes off, regardless of lighting conditions.

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. You can use the self-

timer to avoid a blurred photo.

Self-timer

With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding the

phone. Use it to take self-portraits, or group photos where

everyone can be in the photo. You can also use the self-timer

to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos.
