HDR video Use the video HDR (High-Dynamic Range) setting to record a video against strong backlight or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. Video 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. Metering This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the amount of light striking the image you want to capture. Center Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure based on the brightness of the subject there. Spot Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture. Face Measures the amount of light on the face, and adjusts the exposure so that the face is neither too dark or too bright. Multi Divides the image into multiple regions, and measures each region to determine a well-balanced exposure. This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode. SteadyShot™ When recording a video, it can be difficult to hold the device steady. The stabilizer helps by compensating for the small movements of your hand. Intelligent active Activate to remove the overall and detailed camera shakes. Standard Activate to remove the high-frequency camera shakes. Off The stabilizer is turned off. Scene selection The Scene selection feature helps you to quickly set up the camera for common situations using preprogrammed video scenes. Each scene setting is designed to produce the best quality video possible in a specific recording environment. Off The Scene selection feature is off and you can shoot videos manually.
