Self timer
With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding the device. Use this function to
take self-portraits, or group photos where everyone can be in the photo. You can also
use the self-timer to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos.
On (10 sec.)
Set a 10-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken.
On (2 sec.)
Set a 2-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken.

The photo is taken as soon as you tap the camera screen.
Smile Shutter™
Use the Smile Shutter™ function to determine what kind of smile the camera reacts to
before taking a photo.
Focus mode
The focus function controls which part of a photo should be sharp. When continuous
autofocus is on, the camera keeps adjusting focus so the area within the colored focus
frame stays sharp.
Single autofocus
The camera automatically focuses on the selected subject. Continuous autofocus is on. Touch and hold the
camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The photo is taken
when you release your finger.
Face detection
The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The camera
automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by tapping it on the
screen. When you tap the camera screen, a blue frame shows which face is selected and in focus. Face
detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is on.
Touch focus
Touch a specific area on the camera screen to set the area of focus. Continuous autofocus is off. Touch and
hold the camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The photo is
taken when you release your finger.
Object tracking
When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for you.
This setting is only available in
Manual capturing mode.
HDR
Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to take a photo against strong backlight or in
conditions where the contrast is sharp. HDR compensates for the loss of detail and
produces a picture that is representative of both dark and bright areas.
This setting is only available in
Manual capturing mode.
