Sony XPERIA Z3v - Manual (Page 76)

Record videos suitable for sending in multimedia messages. The recording time of this video format is limited
so that video files can fit in a multimedia message.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Self timer
With the self-timer you can record a video without holding the device. Use it to record
group videos where everyone can be in the video. You can also use the self-timer to
avoid shaking the camera when recording videos.

Set a 10-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the video begins to record.
On (2 sec.)
Set a 2-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the video begins to record.

The video begins to record as soon as you tap the camera screen.
Smile Shutter™(video)
Use the Smile Shutter™ function to determine what kind of smile the camera reacts to
before recording a video.
Focus mode
The focus setting controls which part of a video should be sharp. When continuous
autofocus is on, the camera keeps adjusting focus so that the area within the white focus
frame stays sharp.
Single autofocus
The camera automatically focuses on the selected subject. Continuous autofocus is on.
Face detection
The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The camera
automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by tapping it on the
screen. When you tap the camera screen, a yellow frame shows which face is selected and in focus. Face
detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is on.
Object tracking
When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for you.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
HDR video
Use the video HDR (High-Dynamic Range) setting to record a video against strong
backlight or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. Video HDR compensates for the
loss of detail and produces a picture that is representative of both dark and bright areas.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Metering
This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the
amount of light striking the image you want to capture.
Center
Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure based on the brightness of the subject
there.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture.
Face

bright.
