Here you can select the mode for how the pictures are taken. 

Single Shot: 

The standard mode, it takes a 1 picture every time you tap the shoot button. 

HDR Shot (High Dynamic Range): 

If this option is selected then the camera will take 

three images of the same scene. One will be underexposed, another overexposed and the 
last  will  be  properly  exposed  then  it  will  combine  the  three  images  to  create  a  more 
dynamic JPEG. 

Multiple

: With this mode, the camera will take multiple pictures when you press the shoot 

button.  You  might  want  to  use  this  mode  if  you  are  trying  to  get  a  shot  of  a  moving 
subject. 

AEB  (Automatic  Exposure  Bracketing): 

This  can  be  set  to  3  or  5  shots  and  works 

similarly to HDR Shots taking overexposed, underexposed and properly exposed photos. 
However, in AEB the images are in RAW and not combined as this is up to the user to 
combine them with image editing software. (Not Spark) 

Timed Shot

: This allows you to set a countdown timer before the shot is taken, it’s useful 

for taking selfies.

will take multiple shots and stitch them together to make a sphere shaped image. For 
more details check out this 

article.

This mode allows you to create a depth of field effect in your photo.
