Capture and recording settings

To open the capture and recording settings view before
capturing an image or recording a video clip, select
Menu > Applications > Camera and
The capture and recording settings view provides you
with shortcuts to different items and settings before
capturing an image or recording a video clip.
The capture and recording settings return to the
default settings after you close the camera.
Select from the following:
— Select the scene.
or — Switch between video and image mode.
or — Show or hide the viewfinder grid (images
only).
— Activate the self-timer (images only).
— Open Gallery.
Image settings:
— Select a colour effect.
— Adjust the white balance. Select the current
lighting conditions. This allows the camera to
reproduce colours more accurately.
— Adjust the exposure compensation (images
only). If you are shooting a dark subject against a very
light background, such as snow, adjust the exposure to
+1 or +2 to compensate for the background brightness.
For light subjects against a dark background, use -1 or
-2.
Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the
light sensitivity in low light conditions to avoid too
dark images and blurry images. Increasing the light
sensitivity may also increase the image noise.
.
Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the difference
between the lightest and darkest parts of the image.
Adjust sharpness (images only).
The screen display changes to match the settings you
define.
The capture settings are shooting-mode specific.
Switching between the modes does not reset the
defined settings.
If you select a new scene, the capture settings are
replaced by the selected scene. You can change the
capture settings after selecting a scene if needed. For
more information on the scenes, see the extended user
guide on the product support pages of the Nokia
website.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you
change the zoom, lighting, or colour settings.

Capture images

When capturing an image, note the following:
● Use both hands to keep the camera still.
● The quality of a digitally zoomed image is lower
than that of a non-zoomed image.
● The camera goes into battery saving mode if there
are no actions for about a minute. To continue
capturing images, slide the lock switch on the side
of the device.
