  • Multi: Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. This is suitable for general use.

  • Center Weighted: Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the center of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small objects like a flower or insects.

Built-in Flash: The Samsung digital camera features a built-in flash with a variable range based on the auto focus mode. The flash has a range of 11.81" to 11.48' (W) and 19.69" to 6.23' (T). You can choose from the following flash modes:
