When the screen is locked you have to unlock it with a swipe gesture or with your personal pattern, PIN, password or ngerprint. Initially, the unprotected screen swipe is set, but it is recommended to use a more secure screen lock to protect your device.

The security level of each lock type is listed below in order of weakest to strongest:

• Swipe: no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.

• Pattern: draw a simple pattern with your nger to unlock your device.

• PIN: enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.

Finding, locking or erasing a lost device

Google oers a location and security web service called Find my device. After you have signed in to a Google account, Find my device is turned on by default. If you lose your device, you can use Find my device to:

• Find and show where your device is located on a map.

• Lock your device and present a message on the lock screen.

• Unlock your device and reset it by erasing its content.

• Activate the ringer, even if the sound is turned o.

Your device must be turned on, have an internet connection, and have the location service activated. The Find my device service may not be available in all countries or regions.

Using location services

Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information from your mobile or Wi-Fi network as well as GPS (Global Positioning System) information to determine your approximate location. If you’re not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi function. And if you’re not within range of a network, your device can determine your location using your mobile network.

In order to use your device to nd out where you are, you need to enable location services.

To enable or disable location services

1 Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Location. 2 Tap the switch to enable or disable location services.

Improving GPS accuracy

The rst time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take a few minutes for your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don’t cover the GPS antenna. GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn’t found after a few minutes, move to another location.

Battery and power management

our device has an embedded battery. To get the most use from it, keep track of the power consumed by dierent applications and features. You can also use Battery Care to increase the battery’s lifetime. Background power-saving features are activated by default to help you further reduce battery consumption, and additional power-saving modes are available to help you reduce battery consumption when necessary.

Power-saving features lower the priority of certain non-essential device functions. If you do not want an application to be aected, you can make it exempt in the Power-saving exceptions menu. Phone calls and SMS are not aected.

Exposure, colour and light conditions

Good exposure for your photos requires the right amount of light. The camera

automatically detects and adjusts to ambient light conditions.

Dierent exposures are required, for example, when taking photos of faces,

moving objects or in low light.

Optimising light conditions

• Look for light with direction and colour that gives a scene shape and depth. This

type of light occurs just before sunrise and at sunset. Natural light from a window

is also good.

• For higher quality photos in low light, you need to keep the camera steady. You

can place the camera on a solid surface and use the self-timer.

• Even if light conditions are poor, try to take photos with and without the ash.

Sometimes the quality is better without the ash.

To use the ash

1 When using the camera, tap the ash icon displayed on the screen, for example

Int

Colour, brightness and exposure value

our camera automatically adjusts the colour, brightness and exposure value by detecting the light conditions and estimating the colour temperature of ambient light. Digital cameras can only estimate the colour temperature, so you may need to adjust the settings to get it correct.

If you experience yellow-coloured photos in indoor environments or bluish photos when using the ash, try adjusting the colour.

To achieve better exposures in low-light environments, change the brightness for photos and videos. If you are using Manual mode for photos, change the exposure value.

Shutter speed

Shutter speed refers to how long the shutter is open and the camera sensor is exposed to light.

A fast shutter speed helps to freeze motion, while a slow shutter speed can create an eect called "motion blur", where moving objects appear blurred along their line of motion.

The shutter speed is automatically adjusted in photos and videos.
