Here's a live screen showing the AUTO record mode. Icons across the top indicate the flash is in Auto mode, 5.0MP image size, 158 pictures remaining, and the upper right icon indicates we are using an optional SD memory card. The "0.0" on the bottom is the exposure compensation value. You can change this value by pressing left or right on the 4-way controller.

When you half-press the shutter to achieve the focus and exposure lock, the AF target marks will turn green and show what area it is focusing on.

Scene mode lets you select from: portrait, sport, children, party, beach, snow, fireworks, self portrait, backlight, and night portrait. As you navigate the menu, a description of each mode and hints for using it are presented.
