Record Screens & Menus
The AUTO shooting mode turns the L830 into a fully automatic point-n-shoot camera.
This simplified mode has limited access to the menu options, in fact, there's only three flash
options to choose from.
Program AE mode, is like auto, the camera selects both shutter speed and aperture
values automatically. However, now you have access to more advanced camera settings like
ISO, White balance, Metering, etc. Icons indicate we are using 8M Superfine image
size/quality, Auto flash mode, Center AF, and an SD card is being used for image
storage. You can also see indicators for battery level, zoom position as well as the time &
date.
When you half press the shutter release, the AF marks will turn green if focus is achieve or
red if it fails. The flash icon also turns red when the flash is going to fire.
When using Auto mode, pressing the "E"ffects button will give you access to these creative
options: Color. (Image Adjust and Fun are available in Program mode)
