Sony D5322 User Manual

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

back light 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

Adjusts the exposure to the centre of the image.

Average

Calculates the exposure based on the amount of light striking the whole image.

Spot

Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture.

This setting is only available in

Manual capturing mode.

SteadyShot™

When recording a video, it can be difficult to hold the device steady. The stabiliser

helps you by compensating for small movements of the hand.

Microphone

Select whether to pick up the surrounding sound when recording videos.

Flash

Use the flash light to record videos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is

a backlight. The video flash icon is only available on the video camera screen.

Note that the video quality can sometimes be better without a light even if lighting

conditions are poor.
