Record Screens & Menus
Please excuse the poor quality of these screen captures. The A4000 IS kit does not include an AV output cable, therefore we had to photograph the LCD.
Above you can see the A4000 IS in Smart Auto mode. Here the camera chooses the all settings for you, along with applying one of 32 predefined scene presets. This mode is designed to help you capture the best photos possible, in a variety of shooting situations.
When you half-press the shutter release the Auto Exposure and Focus system kick in to lock exposure and focus. Smart Auto also selects one of the 32 scene settings; if it finds one applies to the current subject being framed. Here we can see the Face Detection AF has locked onto a face in the frame, and the icon at the top right indicates that Smart Auto has chosen portrait scene settings. The lighting bolt icon indicates that the flash is charged and ready to fire, and along the bottom you can see the exposure settings the camera has chosen for this specific shot.
You have very few options when in Smart Auto. Here we can see the function menu, which gives you access to the Self-Timer, Image size, and video mode.
Here we can see Program mode. While also automatic, Program gives you access to all of the available camera settings; like ISO, White balance, Metering, Exposure compensation, etc.
When you you half-press the shutter release half-way, the camera will lock exposure and focus. Here we have the camera set to Center AF, Evaluative metering, and ISO 100. The camera chose a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second and an aperture of f/4.0.
Pressing the FUNC./Set button brings up the function shortcut menu. Here you can quickly change the following settings:
Camera menu options in Program mode:
At any time you can start recording 720p HD video with sound, thanks to the dedicated movie mode shutter release. You have resolution options for 1280x720 (25fps) and 640x480 (30fps). There is also a Scene mode name iFrame Movie, which records video in an Apple complaint format that makes editing videos on Apples devices easier. The optical zoom can not be used while recording; however you can preset the desired focal length before recording starts. You do have use of the 4x Digital zoom, just be warned that video quality suffers as you use this feature. Videos are saved using the QuickTime .MOV (H.264) compression format.
