Hello, I guess most of us use the built-in camera at some points. I don't know about Camera settings but I would like to take excellent photos and videos using the Note. Anybody knows what these variables mean and how they affect the results? Thanks.

1. Shooting mode: Single shot, Smile shot, Beauty, Share shot
2. Flash: Is Auto flash the best option?
3. Scene mode: Portrait, Landscape, Night, Sports
4. Exposure value
5. Focus mode: Macro (Is auto focus the best?)
6. Timer
7. Effects: Negative, Greyscale, Sepia.
8. White balance: Daylight, Cloudy, Incandescent, Flourescent
9. ISO
10. Metering: Center-weighted, Spot, Matrix
11. Outdoor visibility
12. Anti-Shake: I suppose on is the best option. Right?
13. Auto contrast
14. Blink detection
15. Guidelines
16. Image quality: I suppose Superfine is the best option.
