FujiFilm FinePix A920 Review
Record Mode Screens & Menus
|
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 saying "auto" which is the symbol for
Auto Record mode. The "9M" represents image resolution of 9 megapixels, the "F" indicates
Fine compression (quality), and "197" represents the number of frames that can be recorded at
the current image size. The yellow and gray brackets in the center show the autofocus target
area.
Half-pressing the shutter releases locks the autofocus, flash setting and exposure.
Press the DISPlay button to toggle to other display modes, like the grid overlay and displaying no information.
AUTO record MENU options:
QUALITY - Choose image size/quality; 9M Fine, 9M Normal, 3:2 (9M mode for 4x6" prints), 5M, 3M, 2M, 0.3M SETUP - Enter setup menu
This is the Manual record screen (Shown with grids on). The only real difference between Auto an
Manual mode, is you have access to ISO, White Balance and Exposure Compensation options. When these
options are used, an Icon representing the selected WB will be displayed next to the "M", and the EV
compensation will be displayed in the bottom middle (not shown).
ISO - Auto, 100, 200, 400 or 800 QUALITY - Choose image size/quality; 9M Fine, 9M Normal, 3:2 (9M mode for 4x6" prints), 5M, 3M, 2M, 0.3M EXPOSURE VALUE - 2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps WHITE BALANCE - Auto, Daylight, Shade, "Daylight" Fluorescent, "Warm White" Fluorescent, "cool white" Fluorescent, Incandescent SETUP - Enter setup menu

The Macro focus mode can be enabled in Auto or Manual shooting mode and
allows you to focus from 3.9 inches to 2.6 feet. The optical zoom can be used in macro mode.
The Movie record mode display. The top info line indicates the movie recording size is 320x240
followed by the remaining recording time (25m33s) at this quality setting. The A920 records motion
video with audio at a resolution of 320x240. Since audio is recorded, the optical zoom can not be used
during movie recording. You can however, preset the desired focal length before recording starts.
