The AUTO screen display. This is the "point-n-shoot" mode where the camera
sets everything for the user automatically. The only menu options are the
image size/quality, selftimer, and LCD/Setup options.
After half-pressing the shutter release the auto focus and exposure is set.
The "[ ]" in the center is where the autofocus performs its
calculations, and the flash symbol indicates the flash is ready and will fire.
Turning the Mode Dial to the Scene position lets you select one of four pre-programmed exposure modes (Portrait, Landscape, Sports, and Night.)
The menu options for Scene mode include the usual image size/quality,
selftimer and setup items as well as the Scene Position sub-menu, which allows
you to change the desired scene mode.
The Manual record mode isn't really a true manual mode but it does give you access to a
number of settings not available in Auto mode.
