Auto focus is achieved by a TTL, contrast-gradient AF system. There are Normal, Macro, and Landscape focus modes. The auto focus range is from 0.5 m (20 in.) - infinity in Wide and 0.6m (23.6 in.) - infinity in Telephoto. Macro mode will get you as close as 0.10 m (4.0 in.) at wide angle. The Built-in auto-adjusting flash has modes for Auto (default), Flash on, and Flash off. The maximum flash working distance using ISO Auto is:
Telephoto - 10.8 feet (3.3 m)
 On the back is a large and bright 3.0-inch color LCD with 230,400 pixels of resolution. The LCD has a 170-degree wide viewing angle and shows 100% as the live viewfinder and during image review.
Controls on the back: Along the top edge is the Mode button for choosing the exposure mode, Flash mode
button and the Mode switch (Still/Movie/Playback). Next is the Zoom control, which in playback mode
brings up the thumbnail index and magnifies an image. The Menu/OK (center of the 4-way selector) button
calls up the onscreen menu system and accepts selections. The 4-way selector is for navigating menus and
selecting pictures for playback. Lastly are the Back and image Delete buttons.
 Controls on top are the Built-in speaker and the Shutter release.
