Record Screens & Menus
Please excuse the quality of these
screen captures. Due to technical difficulties with our screen capture device, we had to photograph the LCD.
When taking pictures, most users are likely to default to the Tough TG-810's iAuto setting. This exposure mode is fully automatic and chooses the scene mode for you, in addition to exposure settings.
As shown on the LCD, the TG-810 displays on the right side only those settings you can adjust. In iAuto mode, the only settings you can change are the flash and the timer.
In all shooting modes, pressing upward on the four-way mini joystick alternates the display to one of three configurations: only the shooting mode icon, all menu icons and data; or, all menu icons and data, plus grid lines, a histogram, and an anti-shake setting icon.
When pressing the shutter button half-way, a focus box will appear in the middle of the screen. It will turn green if the camera has successfully locked onto your subject. If unsuccessful, the box will turn red.
There are three selections for AF mode: Face/iESP, Spot, and AF Tracking. This translates into four actual focus modes, depending on what the camera detects: Face Detection AF, iESP Auto, Spot AF, and AF Tracking.
Program Auto automatically sets the exposure, and offers the most user-definable options: flash setting, macro, timer, exposure compensation, white balance, ISO, and drive mode.

The scene mode menu offers 21 scene modes: Portrait, Beauty, Landscape, Night Scene, Night + Portrait, Sport, Indoor, Candle, Self Portrait, Sunset, Fireworks, Cuisine, Documents, Beach & Snow, Underwater Snapshot, Underwater Wide 1, Underwater Wide 2, Underwater Macro, Pet (Cat), Pet (Dog), and Snow.
The Magic Filters apply one of eight effects to your photos: Pop Art, Pinhole, Fisheye, Drawing, Soft Focus, Punk, Sparkle, or Watercolor. Pop Art brightens colors, while Pinhole and Fisheye simulate their namesake camera and lens type, respectively. Punk creates a duotone of hot pink and black.
The Panorama mode offers three options: auto, manual and PC. Using the auto setting, you use an on-screen guide to line up consecutive shots, and can move left to right or right to left. Both auto and manual settings limit you to three shots, and do not capture full-resolution images. To create a full-resolution panorama, you'll need to use PC mode, and stitch the images later on a computer. PC mode doesn't limit you to three shots for stitching.
There are three flash modes: Auto (for low light and backlit conditions), Red-Eye Reduction, and Fill-in.
The flash working range is as follows:
Wide: 0.66ft (0.2m) - 11.5ft (3.5m) at ISO 800
Tele: 4.64 ft (0.5m) - 8.2ft (2.5m) at ISO 800
