The lightning bolt is the flash control. You can have no flash, like when the subject is already lit; delayed flash; the flash is almost useless when its sunny, more for dimmer pictures.
When you half-press the button, it focuses the camera.
It takes the camera two seconds to take a picture, when fully pressed.
Half-way, focus, picture takes four seconds.
It helps focuses the frame, and with some camera models, the camera actually measures the lighting.
The flower button is 'macro' or close-ups; anything within 28 (or so) inches from the lens.
Half-press with 'flower' on, you can take pics from about 1/4 of an inch away.
When zooming in on pictures with digitals, you should always be able to turn in a crisp picture, unless the 'moment' is lost.
A variety of settings: Portrait, landscape, night shot, sport, indoor, color swap, color accent, fireworks, beach, snow, and foliage.
Many of the settings mentioned above is using flash and lighting for specific situations, like at night or for moving subjects.
Portrait is specially designed to using a more natural color for skin, auto is more toward lighting-based color.
-The lightning bolt button is the flash. different settings are auto, red eye, no flash, and some have a special type of night flash. It brightens the image and makes the subject contrast slightly with the background.
-If the shutter button is half pushed down, then it focuses the image. When it focuses on an image half down it takes a couple of seconds once it focuses, but when it is just flat out pushed then it takes about the same amount of time. If the object is moving,such as a sports player, then it focuses as they move. If the object is out of distance then it focuses and has more of a chance to show more detail.
-The flower button is for foliage , to make them look good. When the shutter button is pushed half way down when the flower button is on then it focuses more. Yes you can get closer to the object zoomed in or out.
-Zoom Features- When you turn in a picture they should all be in good, crisp focus, unless for artistic reasons.
-Scene Modes-The one with a person in front of a mountain is for landscape. The running guy is for sports and moving objects. The face is for portraits. Auto is for regular images. The portrait setting takes more accurate and crisp photos while auto is slightly blurred. If the action setting is on then the moving object is not blurred, if not on action then the object blurs. These modes are changing the quality of the image.

Lightning Bolt Button
- turns on the flash
- flash with red-eye reduction, flash always fires, flash off
- it works best to use flash only when you're taking pictures in the dark/a dim place
Half Push
- it sets the exposure and focus
- if you press half way first, you can take the shot quicker
- if you press the shutter half way, you will get a clearer image, and the lighting will be better
Flower Button
- macro mode (close ups)
- helps sharpen the shot, focus close up
- you can get closer in zoom
Review Zoom
- you can check whether its sharp, so you should never turn in a blurred picture!
Scene Modes
- Landscape (for taking outdoor scenes)
- Night Portrait (taking pictures at night, but using flash)
- Portrait (for taking pictures of people)
- auto to portrait- different saturation, different focus points
- auto to action- clearer photos
- these settings just give you a preset exposure time, and can adjust where the camera focuses (this all effects lighting, color saturation, etc)
The lightning bolt is for the flash. Autoflash, autoflash with red-eye reduction, fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, slow sync with red-eye reduction, and flash cancel. The photos are brighter when the flash is on, and sometimes it enhances or ruins the pictures. It slows down the image so that the image doesn't turn out blurry. 2 seconds. 4 seconds. So the picture isn't blurry and too bright. It's to allow the camera to focus as close as 1 cm. You can get one centimeter close the object. Yes. Well you can but you shouldn't. The running man is for moving objects/ action pictures. The face is for portraits. The mountains are for landscape. The Sun is for sunsets. Night portrait is for night scenes. The portrait really captures the features of the person than the auto mode. When the using the auto on a moving object the picture comes out blurry but when you use the action mode the picture is pretty perfect. Changing the picture quality and image.

* 1 Person types - 1 Person handles the camera - 1 person helps/watches time
* Camera on AUTO (the green setting on the dial)
* Green items should be written about in the blog entry.
* Lightning bolt button -
o What is it for?
The lightning button represents the flash of the camera.
o What are the different settings (For the lightning bolt), what are they each for?
-The one with the A is an automatic flash setting. -The lightning bolt crossed out is no flash setting. -The one with just the lightning bolt is the always flash button.
o What is your impression of the quality of photos with this turned "on"
When the flash is turned on the photo is a lot brighter and shadows usually don't show.
* Half-push
o What happens?
-The camera flickers a little and displays a green square which represents what it will automatically set the exposure and focus.
o Point the camera at a subject. Push the shutter button all the way and time how long it takes to take the shot. How long?
-It took about 3 seconds to take the picture.
o Point the camera at a similar subject. Push the shutter button down half way, let it do its thing. Now, finish pushing the rest of the way and time that. How long?
-It took about 4 seconds to take
o Why would it be useful to push the shutter button down half way? Give two reasons.
-To make sure your subject will be focused correctly
-To make sure the exposure time will be correct
* Flower button
o What is this for?
-This is a macro mode, made for taking shots with subjects 5-45 cm away (close up focusing)
o Each person should try taking close up photos with this on and this off.
-With the flower button on, the subject was focused, with it off the image was blurry.
o Try pushing the shutter button half way when close to a subject. How close can you get?
-We got about 5 cm away
o With the "flower" turned on can you get closer to the subject zoomed in or zoomed out?
-With this setting on we got a lot closer with the flower button on (5 cm to 12 cm)
* Review zoom feature
o Knowing that you can do this "in the field" to check your photos as you take them, should you ever turn in a photo that is not in crisp focus? (Unless it's blurred for artistic reasons.)
-No you shouldn't ever turn in a photo that isn't in crisp focus!
* Scene Modes
o What is each one used for?
Each setting
-fireworks: Made to shoot fireworks clearly with optimal exposure time
-beach: For shooting scenesby the sea or on sunlit sandy beaches while preventing dark subjects
-snow:For shooting a subject against a backdrop of white while preventing dark and subjects and blue-ish backgrounds
-foliage: For shooting images outdoors (plants) to enhance color
-indoor: prevents camera shaking and maintains subjects true color when shooting under flourescent lights
-kids & pets: allows you to capture subjects that move around without missing photo opportunities
-night: use to take snapshots of people against twilight or night (dark backgrounds).
o Take a picture of a sitting person, use AUTO, Then try PORTRAIT. What was the difference?
-With auto the subject's color looked washed out and with portrait it was focused better with better color!
o Take a picture of a moving subject, use AUTO, Then try ACTION. What was the difference?
The picture with action wasn't blurred.
o What are these modes doing to the camera in terms of settings?
The modes are options for the camera to help make pictures better for situations!
