Sets the ISO sensitivity to 3200.

This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.

Metering

This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the

amount of light striking the subject you want to capture.

Centre

Measures the centre of the image, and determines the exposure based on the brightness of the subject

there.

Spot

Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture.

Face

Measures the amount of light on the face, and adjusts the exposure so that the face is neither too dark

nor too bright.

Average

Calculates the exposure based on the amount of light striking the whole image.

This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.

Flash

Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a

backlight. The following options are available when you tap the flash icon on the

camera screen:

Auto

The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.

Fill flash

Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This setting removes unwanted

dark shadows.

Red-eye reduction

Reduces the red colour of eyes when taking a photo.

Off

The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting

conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the

self-timer to avoid blurred photos.

Torch

The flash light is turned on when you take photos.

Scene selection

Use the Scene selection 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.

Off

The Scene selection feature is off and you can take photos manually.

Soft Skin

Take photos of faces using an enhanced beauty effect.

Soft snap

Use for shooting photos against a soft background.

Anti motion blur

Use for minimising camera shake when shooting a slightly dark scene.

Landscape

Use for landscape photos. The camera focuses on distant objects.
