Shooting Mode Parameters
Shutter Speed Controls the time it takes for light to enter the camera. The faster the shutter speed, the clearer the image. Make this higher for dynamic shots and lower for low light conditions.
Sensitivity (ISO) Reflects how sensitive the sensor is to light. A higher sensitivity means the camera can capture more light for a brighter image.
Exposure Compensation Value (EV) In Auto Mode, you can adjust the EV to help with overexposure or underexposure.
White Balance (WB) Removes unrealistic colors and tones so colors are accurately captured in the image. A higher white balance produces warmer tones, lower results in cooler tones.
Low Light Stabilization Improves motion blur and stabilization in low light environments. In extreme environments, the image will be darker and may have some flickering.
Filters Add different color tones and effects.
Metering Mode Face Priority prioritizes the face for brightness. Matrix ensures accurate exposure of the whole image.
Balanced Exposure The screen will automatically equalize the exposure according to the environment.

360 Mode and Single-Lens Mode support different parameters in different shooting modes.
