Record Mode Screens & Menus


Fujifilm FinePix A310


The Auto record mode is a simple "Point-n-Shoot" 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 megapixels (2048x1536) and the "6" represents the number of frames that can be recorded at the current image size. On the left is the zoom lens position indicator, it's displayed momentarily whenever the focal length is changed. The yellow brackets in the center denotes the auto focus target area.

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.
