Minolta DiMAGE G400 Review



Record Mode Screens & Menus
(Excuse the poor quality of these screens but the DiMAGE G400 does not have a
Video Out feature so these had to be photographed off of the color LCD.)
A typical record mode screen display. Across the top is flash disabled, "P"rogram AE
exposure mode, in the center are the focus target marks.
On the bottom is the battery level, pictures remaining, 4Megapixel (2272x1704) image
size, Fine quality (3 stars) and SD indicating that we are
currently using a Secure Digital type memory card, this will change to "MS"
if using a Memory Stick.
To the right of the color LCD is the MODE button, it selects AUTO, SCENE, MOVIE/SOUND,
MANUAL or SETUP mode.
