Configuring settings for Camera
Tap
→
to configure settings for Camera. Not all of the following options are available
in both still camera and video camera modes. The available options vary depending on the
mode used.
•
Photo size
/
Video size
: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. But it
takes up more memory.
•
Tap to take pics
: Tap the image on the preview screen to take photos.
•
Face detection
: Set the device to recognise people’s faces and help you take photos of
them.
•
Metering modes
: Select a metering method. This determines how light values are
calculated.
Centre-weighted
measures background light in the centre of the scene.
Spot
measures the light value at a specific location.
Matrix
averages the entire scene.
•
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.
•
Anti shake
: Activate or deactivate anti-shake. Anti-shake helps focus when the camera is
moving.
•
Save as
: Set the device to save both the rich tone photo and original photo, or only the
rich tone photo.
•
Location tag
: Attach a GPS location tag to the photo. Activate this feature when taking
photos to create albums in
Story Album
.
•
To improve GPS signals, avoid shooting in locations where the signal may be
obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas, or in poor weather
conditions.
•
Your location may appear on your photos when you upload them to the Internet.
To avoid this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.
