Landscape

Use for videos of landscapes. The camera focuses on distant objects.

Night scene

When turned on, light sensitivity is increased. Use in poorly lit environments. Videos of fast-

moving objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support. Turn off night mode

when lighting conditions are good, to improve the video quality.

Beach

Use for videos of seaside or lakeside scenes.

Snow

Use in bright environments to avoid overexposed videos.

Sports

Use for videos of fast-moving objects. The short exposure time minimises motion blurring.

Party

Use for indoor videos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting

or candlelight. Videos of fast-moving objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a

support.

Video resolution

Adjust the video resolution for different formats.

Full HD (30 fps)

1920×1080(16:9)

Full HD (Full High Definition) format with 30 fps and 16:9 aspect ratio.

1280×720(16:9)

HD (High Definition) format with 16:9 aspect ratio.

VGA

640×480(4:3)

VGA format with 4:3 aspect ratio.

MMS

Record videos suitable for sending in multimedia messages. The recording time of this video format is

limited so that video files can fit in a multimedia message.

Object tracking

When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for

you.

Smile Shutter™(video)

Use the Smile Shutter™ function to determine what kind of smile the camera reacts

to before recording a video.
