Camera and Video Settings
Use Camera settings to configure the camera.
1. From a Home screen, tap
Apps
>
Camera
.
2. Quick settings are listed across one side of
the camera view finder. Available options vary
depending on the camera or recording mode
used. Default settings include:
•
Picture size
: Select a resolution. Use higher
resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution
pictures take up more memory.
•
Burst shots
: Take a series of pictures of
moving subjects.
•
Low-light detection
: Take brighter and clearer
pictures without using the flash at night.
•
Face detection
: Detect faces in pictures for
tagging with the person’s name.
•
ISO
: Select an ISO value. This controls
camera light sensitivity. It is measured in
film-camera equivalents. Low values are for
stationary or brightly-lit objects. Higher values
are for fast-moving or poorly-lit objects.
•
Metering modes
: Select a metering
method. This determines how light values
are calculated. Center-weighted measures
background light in the center of the scene.
Spot measures the light value at a specific
location. Matrix averages the entire scene.
•
Tap to take pics
: Tap the image on the
preview screen to take pictures.
•
Selective focus
: Make objects stand out from
the background. They must be within 1.5 feet
from you, and at least 3 times this distance
from the background.
•
Video size
: Select a resolution. Use higher
resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution
videos take up more memory.
•
Recording mode
: Select Normal, Limit for
email, or Fast motion mode.
•
Video stabilization
: Activate anti-shake.
Anti-shake helps to keep the focus steady
when the camera is moving.
•
Audio zoom
: While recording videos, zooming
in on an object amplifies sound from that area
and diminishes the surrounding sound.
•
Effects
: Add special graphical effects.
•
Flash
: Activate or deactivate the flash.
•
Timer
: Take time-delayed pictures or videos.
•
HDR (rich tone)
: Enables the light sensitivity
and color depth features of the device to
produce a brighter and richer picture.
•
Location tags
: Attach a GPS location tag to
the picture.
•
Save as flipped
: Automatically save images as
flipped in the Gallery.

This option is only available for the Front
camera.

for storage.

Review pics/videos
: Set to show pictures or
videos after taking them.
•
Remote viewfinder
: Take pictures using the
viewfinder of a connected device. Wi-Fi Direct
is required.
•
White balance
: Select an appropriate white
balance, so images have a true-to-life color
range. The settings are designed for specific
lighting situations. These settings are similar to
the heat range for white-balance exposure in
professional cameras.
•
Exposure value
: Change the exposure value.
This determines how much light the camera’s
sensor receives. For low light situations, use a
higher exposure.
•
Grid lines
: Display viewfinder grid lines to help
composition when selecting subjects.

Shutter sound
: Enable or disable a shutter
sound when pictures are taken.

camera key, the record key, or as a zoom key.

with voice commands.
