Once we have opened the camera application of this smartphone, we will see that in the lower right part of the screen a small circle appears with a drawing inside. If we click on this circle, a list with all the camera options available to the Sony Xperia Z2 will automatically appear. These options are the following:

• Superior automatic. This is the simplest option of all, as it automatically adjusts the camera settings to deliver a quality photo or video. In the case that we want to take a quick snapshot, this is the option that we should have activated.
• Manual. An option intended primarily for photography professionals. If we activate this shooting mode, we will see that from the camera application we can manually configure all the image parameters (brightness, contrast, etc.).
• 4K video. One of the star options of the Sony Xperia Z2. It allows us to record videos with 4K resolution, that is, one of the highest resolutions on the market.
• Timeshift video. This option allows us to record videos in slow motion. In addition, once we have recorded the video, we can also customize it by choosing exactly the scene in which we want to apply the slow motion playback.
• Defocused background. With this option we can take photographs in which the background will appear out of focus. As in the previous option, in this case we can also adjust the blur to our liking once we have taken the image.
• AR effect. It is one of the most curious -and fun- additions to the camera of this mobile. It allows us to add virtual characters to our snapshots, which the little ones in the house will probably like a lot.

• I came. Short and funny videos; That's the essence of Vine, a social platform where we can automatically upload our videos if we activate this option.
• Info-eye. More than being an option for photography, it is a curious complement that will show us information related to the object or landscape that we are focusing on with the mobile camera.
• Timeshift burst. With this option, lovers of perfection will be able to choose the best photo from a burst of shots of multiple snapshots that are taken within a few seconds.
• Social live. It is an add-on for the social network Facebook. By activating this option we can share what we are seeing through the mobile camera with the friends we want from this social network.
• Panoramic sweep. An option that does not need many presentations: it allows us to take panoramic photographs, that is, photographs that immortalize a landscape in an image with a large extension.
