To take a photo when recording a video
•
When recording a video, tap (Shutter button). The photo is taken as soon as you
release the shutter button.
Self-timer
Use the Self-timer to get more time to prepare for a photo. It also helps to keep
your device steady and avoid blurred photos.
To use the self-timer with the main camera
1
When using the main camera, select a photo capturing mode and tap (Settings
icon).
2
Tap Self-timer and select the delay time.
3
Close the settings menu. The Self-timer setting is saved.
4
Press the camera key or tap the shutter button to take a photo. A series of beeps
marks the countdown until the photo is taken.
Note
When using the front camera, tap (Self-timer icon) to set the Self-timer.
Exposure, colour and light conditions
Good exposure for your photos requires the right amount of light. The camera
automatically detects and adjusts to ambient light conditions.
Different exposures are required, for example, when taking photos of faces,
moving objects or in low light.
Optimising light conditions
•
Look for light with direction and colour that gives a scene shape and depth. This
type of light occurs just before sunrise and at sunset. Natural light from a window
is also good.
•
For higher quality photos in low light, you need to keep the camera steady. You
can place the camera on a solid surface and use the self-timer.
•
Even if light conditions are poor, try to take photos with and without the flash.
Sometimes the quality is better without the flash.
To use the flash
1
When using the camera, tap the flash icon displayed on the screen, for example
(Auto flash icon).
2
If required, change the flash setting.
3
Press the camera key or tap the shutter button to take a photo or record a video.
Note
Available settings depend on the capturing mode selected.
Hint
When the background is brighter than the object, use Fill flash to remove unwanted dark
shadows.
