Exposure
-2~+2
Manually adjust the exposure to gain better effect when the preview
image appears too bright or too dark. A positive value indicates the
image will be brighter than usual; while a negative value makes the
image dimmer.
NightShot On/Off
This setting allows you to take a photograph with a dark
background. Since the shutter speed will slow down when taking
photographs at a dark place, we recommend using a tripod to
eliminate blurring from hand shake.
