The Snapshot screen showing Single shot, Matrix metering and multi-AF focus. The
image size is 7M"egapixels" and Fine quality has been selected, we can shoot 433 more
frames at this size/quality, ISO sensitivity is 50 and the battery is full.
When you half-press the shutter release the camera sets the exposure and locks the
focus, if successful the AF target marks turn green and the aperture value and
shutter speed are displayed.
The Easy mode is a totally automatic "point-n-shoot" exposure mode for beginners.
The Easy mode menu is simplified and only allows the user to select the flash
mode, enable the selftimer and select the image size.
There are 32 different Best Shot scenes:

Sports, Candlelight Portrait, Party, Pet, Flower, Natural Green, Autumn Leaves,

The Aperture-priority mode allows you to select the desired aperture and the camera
automatically matches the proper shutter speed. Available aperture settings are:
F2.8 or F4.0. Press the set button to change the exposure compensation value.
The Shutter-speed priority mode allows you to select the desired shutter speed and the
camera automatically matches the proper aperture. Shutter speeds range from
60 seconds to 1/1600 second.
The Manual mode lets you change both the aperture value and shutter speeds.
When you half-press the shutter button the aperture and shutter speed display will
turn white if the exposure is correct or red if over- or under-exposed.
This is the Histogram that shows the combined RGB as well as the individual color
channels. Once you learn how to "read" a histogram, it can tell you at a glance
whether the image is properly exposed or not. Press the DISP button to enable the
histogram.
When you rotate the Mode Dial to change the exposure mode, a popup "label" is
displayed momentarily to let you know what mode has been selected.
Press the "Down" button to cycle through the available flash modes or press
