Field of View
Your camera includes three FOV options for photos. All photos are captured
at 10MP.
FOV Description
Wide
Largest eld of view. Good for action shots to
capture as much as possible within the frame.
This FOV results in a sheye eect, especially
around the edge of the scene. (You can crop
that out during editing, if needed.)
Medium
Mid-range eld of view. Has the eect of
zooming in on the centre of the shot.
Narrow
Smallest eld of view with reduced sheye
distortion. Good for capturing content at a
distance. Its most signicant eect is that it
zooms in on the centre of the shot.

ADVANCED SETTINGS
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) retains a greater level of detail in the dark and
bright areas of an image. The result is a photo that is properly exposed for
both of these extremes. This setting is especially useful for scenes that are
backlit or that have large bright regions and a dark foreground.
WDR is available only for the Photo capture mode. The options for this
setting are O (default) and On. To access this advanced setting, see
Navigating with the Touch Display (page 17).
