Record Screens & Menus
By Josh Fate
Here you can see the new Easy exposure mode. This is a 100% automatic
exposure mode. The only thing you can control is the flash, and that is
because you have to manually raise it in order to use it.
AUTO mode allows anyone, regardless of expertise, to use the SX120 IS like a simple
point-n-shoot camera. The camera automatically selects the shutter speed and aperture
allowing you to concentrate on framing your subject, not changing camera settings.
In Program mode the camera selects both the shutter speed and
aperture like Auto mode, but now you have access to all of the other camera settings that you do when shooting in Av, Tv, and M mode (see FUNCtion and Menu screens
below.)

Manual mode gives you complete control over every aspect of the camera for total creative control. Tv and Av modes (not shown) are very similar, only they allow you to set either the aperture or the shutter speed and the camera adjusts the other for you.
Half-pressing the shutter release with get you an auto focus lock and the shutter
speed and aperture values will be displayed.
