- Touch
and choose 3s or 10s. - Frame your shot, and when you're ready, touch
to start the countdown. - Take your place in the shot (if you're taking a selfie, simply wait) and smile!
Use a flash
To set the flash mode (off, always on, or auto), touch 
on the viewfinder.
Use a grid for framing
Enable a grid in your viewfinder to better frame your shots and check your camera tilt.
- On the viewfinder, touch
> Settings - Turn Assistive grid on
Store photos and videos on SD card
To set your camera to save new photos and videos on your SD card:
- Be sure you inserted an SD card.
- On the viewfinder, touch Settings
- Touch Storage > SD card
You can also move existing photos and videos from internal storage to the SD card.
Use location tags
When you take photos or videos, you can embed data about the location where you took them.
On the viewfinder, touch > Settings and turn Save location on
You need to turn on location-based services to use this feature.
Use HDR in high-contrast lighting
Taking a photo of a bright scene that also includes dark shadows? Use HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode. The camera captures multiple exposure levels and combines them into a single photo for vibrant colors and more detail in both light and dark areas.
To set HDR mode (off, always on, or auto mode), touch 
on the viewfinder.
HDR is best for:
- Landscapes with bright sky and shaded hills or foliage
- Outdoor portraits with lots of contrast
- Backlit scenes with dark shadows and streams of sunlight
- When both the camera and subject are stationary
Do not use HDR for:
- Action shots
- Low-light indoor photos
- When you want to use the flash or the front camera
When the camera detects a high contrast scene, it automatically goes into HDR mode, and HDR appears in the viewfinder. Consider whether HDR mode would improve the photo or not.
Adjust photo size
Lower resolution photos and videos take up less space, but have lower image quality.
- On the viewfinder, touch > Settings
- Touch Photo size for the front or rear camera.
- Select size to use for new photos:
- To display pictures that fill your HDTV or widescreen monitor without cropping, use 16:9 widescreen mode.
- To print 5"x7" or 8"x10" photos, use 4:3 standard mode.
- In general, use smaller file sizes (MP) for photos you'll share; use larger sizes for photos you'll print or edit.
Turn shutter sound on/off
- On the viewfinder, touch > Settings
- Turn Shutter sound on or off
