Focusing and zooming

Before taking a photo or video, adjust the focus, exposure, and zoom.

    In capture modes such as Photo and Video modes, the camera automatically focuses when you point the camera at your subject.

    You can also do the following:
    • Auto focus on another subject. Just tap the subject.
    • Auto adjust exposure. Tap a dark area to brighten it, or tap an overexposed area to darken it.
    • Manually adjust exposure. Tap the screen, and then drag your finger up or down to increase or decrease exposure.
