Record screen in "P"rogram AE mode with the histogram feature enabled. The aperture is F2.8, shutter speed is 1/30 second and the 0.0 indicates no exposure compensation. The "[ ]" in the center is where the autofocus performs its calculations. ISO is locked at 100. Flash is disabled and we're in AE Bracketing drive mode. SHQ is the image quality and there's sufficient memory for another 130 pictures.
