How To Customize Camcorder Settings On Samsung Galaxy S4

Learn how to customize the camcorder settings on your Samsung Galaxy S4. This section describes the different settings that you can configure on your camera. Not all of the following options are available in both still camera and video camera modes. The available options vary by mode.

• From the viewfinder, tap Quick Settings > Camera Settings icon.
• Movie size: Select a resolution for videos. Use higher resolution for higher quality. Higher resolution videos take up more memory.
• Video stabilization: Activate or deactivate Optical Image Stabilization.

Settings:

• GPS tag: attach a GPS location tag to the photo. To improve GPS signals, avoid shooting in locations where the signal may be obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas, or in poor weather conditions. Your location may appear on your photos when you upload them to the Internet. To avoid this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.
• Review: set this option if you want to view each picture after you take it. Select a time value.
• Volume key: assigns a function to the volume key. Choose from The zoom key, The camera key, or The record key.
• Timer: Use this for delayed-time shots. You can set the timer to Off, 2 sec, 5 sec, or 10 sec.
• White balance: Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life colour range. The settings are designed for specific lighting situations. These settings are similar to the heat range for white-balance exposure in professional cameras.
• Exposure value: allows you to adjust the brightness level by moving the slider.
• Guidelines: Display viewfinder guides to help composition when selecting subjects.
• Flash: activate or deactivate the flash.
• Voice control: activates/deactivates voice control feature that allows you to verbally take a photo.

• Shutter sound: Turn the shutter sound on or off.
