Adjust photography settings
Before you take a photo, you can adjust settings to get the best photo for your situation.
Use a timer

2.
Touch and choose the number of seconds.
3.
Frame your shot. When you're ready, touch to start the countdown.
4. Take your place in the shot (if you're taking a selfie, simply wait) and smile!
Use a flash
To set the flash mode (off, always on or auto), touch on the viewfinder.
Use HDR in high-contrast lighting
Taking a photo of a bright scene that also includes dark shadows? Use HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode.
The camera captures multiple exposure levels and combines them into a single photo for vibrant colours
and more detail in both light and dark areas.
To set HDR mode (off, always on or auto mode), touch on the viewfinder.
HDR is best for:
•
Landscapes with bright sky and shaded hills or foliage
•
Outdoor portraits with lots of contrast
•
Backlit scenes with dark shadows and streams of sunlight
•
When both the camera and subject are stationary
Do not use HDR for:
•
Action shots
•
Low-light indoor photos
•
When you want to use the flash or the front camera
When the camera detects a high-contrast scene, it automatically goes into HDR mode and HDR appears in
the viewfinder. Consider whether HDR mode would improve the photo or not.
Use beauty filter
Your front (selfie) camera includes a beautification filter. Use it to:
•
Soften and even skin tone
