Record Modes & Screens
Here you can see the typical record mode screens. Pressing the DISP. button changes the amount of information on the screen.
The mode dial has been replaced with a camera button. Pressing the button allows you to scroll through the shooting modes, or you can select them via the switch shooting modes icon in the camera menu.
When you half-press the shutter release it starts the autofocus process and if it locks you'll see the AF targets turn green. If focus fails, they will turn red and flash on the screen (not shown.) The 'red lightning bolt' icon indicates the flash is charged and ready to fire.
Pressing the 4-way controller Up, Down, Left or Right allows you to quickly change settings for Macro focus mode, Flash mode, Self-timer, and Exposure compensation.
You can access a variety of Scene modes by selecting the SCN shooting mode. Here you are provided with a choice of 18 different shooting modes, each designed for a specific shooting situation. Scene Modes (1. Portrait, 2. Landscape, 3. Night Scene, 4. Night+Portrait, 5. Sport, 6. Indoor, 7. Candle, 8. Self Portrait, 9. Sunset, 10. Fireworks, 11. Cuisine, 12. Documents, 13. Beach & Snow, 14. Smile Shot)

Movie mode lets you capture VGA (640x480) or QVGA (320x240) resolution motion video at 15fps or 30fps with sound. When shooting at highest quality, you are limited to clips of just 10 seconds when using a standard or 'M' type xD card. Because the FE-5010 features a built-in microphone, the optical zoom may not be used during recording. You can preset the desired focal length before starting to record a movie.
