Camera settings
On the Apps screen, tap Camera → . Not all of the following options are available in both
still camera and video camera modes.
• Picture size / Video size: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. But
it takes up more memory.
• Burst shots: Take a series of photos of moving subjects.
• Picture stabilisation: Set the device to automatically detect darker conditions and adjust
the camera accordingly to prevent blurring from camera movement.
This option is not available when you record videos.
• Face detection: Set the device to recognize people’s faces and help you take photos of
them.
• 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.
• Metering modes: Select a metering method. Centre-weighted measures light over the
entire area, with emphasis on the centre of the scene. Spot measures the light at the
centre of the screen only. Matrix averages the entire scene.
