Setting up a Google account on your device

Your device from Sony runs on the Android platform developed by Google. A range of Google applications and services is available on your device when you purchase it, for example, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and the Google Play application. To get the most out of these services, you need a Google account. For example, a Google account enables you to do the following:

Download and install applications on Google Play. Synchronize your email, contacts, and calendar using Gmail. You can back up, restore, and transfer your data. Chat with friends using the Google Duo application. Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks using the Chrome web browser. Identify yourself as the authorized user after a software repair using Xperia Companion. Remotely find, lock, or clear a lost or stolen device using the Find My Device services.

Charging your device

You can charge your device from a wall socket or computer. You can still use your device while charging. If the battery is depleted, it may take up to 10 minutes for your device to respond to the charging. During this time, the screen may remain completely dark, not showing the charging icon. It can take couple of hours for a completely drained battery to be fully charged. Charging speed may be affected by ambient temperature. Always use the Sony-branded charger and USB cable, since other types of chargers and USB cables may pose increased safety risks.

Note

Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that can only be replaced by an authorized Sony service partner. Never try to open or take apart the device yourself. Doing so can cause damage and void your warranty.

Hint

A wall socket charger will charge your device faster than charging via computer. You can still use your device while charging.

Adjusting the exposure, color, and light conditions

Good exposure for your photos requires the right amount of light. Different exposures are required, for example, when taking photos of faces, moving objects or in low light.

To optimize light conditions

Look for light with direction and color 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. Even if light conditions are poor, try to take photos with and without the flash. Sometimes the quality is better without the flash.

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 effect called “motion blur”, where moving objects appear blurred along their line of motion. The shutter speed is automatically adjusted, but it can also be set manually.

This setting is only available for the main camera.

ISO

ISO determines how sensitive your camera is to light. A low ISO number means lower sensitivity, and a high ISO number means higher sensitivity. Higher sensitivity can add blur to your photos. A higher ISO value is used when taking photos of moving objects or when taking photos in low-light conditions without the flash. If there is too much light, the lowest ISO setting is used to achieve a higher image quality. ISO is automatically adjusted when taking photos and videos.

This setting is only available for the main camera.
