Camera Settings

Your camera may have all or some of the following settings:

• Flash Control- turns the flash on (forces flash)
• Self-Timer- lets you jump into the picture before it’s taken
• Video Control 
• Image Stabilization****- reduces shakiness or blurring and is critical for zoomed photos and some low-light photos. 
• Focus Control***- lets you set a specific distance between the camera and the subject to override autofocus. This is most useful when autofocus is unreliable, especially in low light.
• Burst Mode- lets you hold down the shutter button to capture as many photos as possible in rapid succession, which is especially used in sports or with wildlife. 
• Bracketing Mode- takes multiple shots when you press the shutter button, but adjusts each shot’s exposure quality slightly. This is useful in situations where the camera may be wrong about automatic settings or you may be wrong about manual settings. 
• Face or Smile Detection- assures the camera focuses on faces. Newer technology can actually delay the exposure until everyone in the photo is smiling. (There is no sincerity filter:)
• Panorama Mode- prompts you to slowly pan your camera from side to side as the camera shoots multiple shots and stitches them into one wide exposer. 
• GPS (Global Positioning System)- tags each photo with the global coordinates of that location (latitude and longitude). This process is called geotagging
