Camera+Modes

=Camera Modes= Reprinted from http://www.digicamhelp.com/camera-features/camera-modes/ There are two primary modes found on digital cameras, Record mode and Playback mode. Many digital cameras also have a Movie (Video) mode. A few models record video with sound, some in stereo.

Shooting Mode
Take photos in shooting mode.
 * access menu to select auto, semi-automatic or manual modes, flash, self-timer, file size and other settings
 * adjust zoom lens
 * use macro lens
 * AF/AE Lock - shutter-release button, when depressed half-way down, locks in focus and exposure.

Playback Mode
Playback mode is used in conjunction with LCD.
 * view images - use buttons to review photos and/or zoom into a specific one. Buttons function much the same as computer keys. The "OK," or similarly named button, functions as an "enter key" causing a menu action to occur.
 * format, erase, protect images - you can delete a few or all of the shots stored on a memory card. You can "protect" ones you don't want to delete when using the "erase" function, often by using the digital camera's thumbnail index.
 * adjust print settings - camera must be PictBridge compatible
