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 indicating "AUTO" record mode. The "6M" represents image
resolution of 6 megapixels, "F" indicates Fine compression, and "68" is the number of remaining
frames. The yellow brackets in the center denotes the auto focus target area.
Half-pressing the shutter release locks the autofocus, white balance and exposure. You will also see the aperture and shutter speed values.
Pressing the DISPlay button toggles: No overlay information, overlay information,
framing grid lines or the unique PostShot display shown here with the previous 3
images captured on the left and the live view on the right.
The Manual record mode lets you select values for many exposure
options - see menu below. Shown here we have set the White Balance, Exposure
Compensation and Spot Metering.
In Anti-Blur mode the camera boosts the ISO sensitivity (as high as ISO 2000),
allowing you to use a fast shutter speed, which helps reduce the effects of camera shake and
moving-subject blur.
