Sony DSC-H10 Review

Here is the Auto mode screen display. Minimal information is displayed and only a few parameters such as image size or recording mode can be changed. Upper left is the battery level that's constantly displayed. The image size is 8M, the image folder is 101, there's space for 105 shots, a graphical icon of the Memory Stick, in the center are the Auto Focus area target marks.

Here's the screen when using Manual mode, it allows users to select both the shutter speed and aperture value, and displays exposure compensation to inform you if you are about to take a under or over-exposed picture (in this case, 0EV). The live image is displayed with the degree of under or over exposure that would result from current settings. Also shown in this image are the additional display options including the histogram.
