Record Screens & Menus
Shown here is "green" point-n-shoot mode. The menu settings are locked out completely, (can access camera settings menu) and the 4-way pad shortcuts are scaled back. Face detection is ON and you are shown the number of remaining pictures (1483), the time, and the battery level.
Auto picture
mode gives you a few menu options like resolution, image quality, and
ISO. The WG-1 will still select all other settings so you can just point and
shoot.
Program mode gives you full access to all the menu options.
Half-pressing the shutter release will allow the camera to autofocus. If in focus the active AF point
bracket will
shrink, and turn green; now you are ready to shoot.
The information display on the WG-1 is changed by pressing the OK button. Pressing over and over the information will change from no info., minimal info., and full info. with the histogram. The RED background in
the one image shows highlight areas
that are too bright.
The 4-way pad is also used as shortcut keys to frequently used options. Pressing left takes you to the Flash settings, Up goes to the drive modes, Right are the Focus modes and down is the Mode Menu which is shown below.
