Explanation: The flash when taking pictures serves as an additional light source. It makes sense to use the flash in backlit situations, because there the flash helps to illuminate the image evenly. | Explanation: HDR is a feature of the camera app. The camera takes several pictures in succession. The software then merges the captured images into a single photo. The result is images with optimal exposure, more details and strong contrasts. When taking pictures of landscapes, the HDR function can be very helpful. | Explanation: AI is an automatic mode that detects scenes such as landscapes, portraits and objects. AI mode adjusts the camera settings to the detected scene or object. This allows you to take better photos. | Explanation: The camera filter filters out unwanted parts.
