The LCD screens in this review had to be photographed as there is no video out- port on the F410.  LCD monitors were never designed with enough resolution to be photographed. So we hope you understand why these screen captures are not up to our usual standard.

Above is the display while in Auto record mode. The line of info across the top starts on the left with a red box containing a camera icon and "A" which is the symbol for Auto Record mode. The "3M" represents image resolution of 3 megapixel (2048x1536) and the "323" represents the quantity of frames that can be recorded on the xD card at the current image size.

The yellow bracket denotes the auto focus area. When the shutter release is half depressed, the brackets get smaller and the aperture and shutter speed values are displayed at the bottom. If that speed is below 1/60 of a second, a camera shake warning icon () is displayed in the right side of the screen.

Pressing the DISPlay button next to the LCD toggles from the above screen to the live image without any data display. Pressing it again brings up the grid screen in both Auto or Manual Record.

Auto record menu options:

SELF-TIMER: ON / OFF, 10 second delay

The Movie record mode display. The top info line indicates the movie quality mode of 320x240 followed by the remaining recording time at this quality setting. The green "Standby" indicates the camera is ready to record when the shutter release is pressed. The F410 records motion video with audio at 10fps in 320x240 or 160x120 resolution, maximum length is 120 seconds. The optical zoom lens is locked to wide angle but the digital zoom is useable.
