Auto Mode
Unsurprisingly, the full auto mode does what you’d expect: fully automate the photo taking process and blocking out many of the on-screen menu options (such as white balance, ISO sensitivity, etc). It also pops up the flash when the camera decides it needs it without warning.
 
Custom Image Presets
Five scene modes are available: picture stabilization (which prioritizes for shutter speed to reduce camera shake), Natural light (which disables the flash and increases the ISO sensitivity), Portrait (which enables red-eye reduction on the flash when in use), landscape and night. The latter allows for shutter speeds of up to 4 seconds.
 
Movie Mode
Movies can be captured at 30 frames per second at a resolution of 640 by 480 or 320 by 240 pixels. Mono sound from the microphone on the left side of the case is also captured, but there is no microphone on the front of the camera. This is really only suitable for recording a narration to the movie: not the sound of the subjects themselves.
 
Drive / Burst Mode
The shooting mode button on the top of the camera allows you to set the continuous shooting mode to Top 4 Frame (which records the first 4 frames it takes), auto bracketing (which captures three images with different exposure settings), Final 4 Frame (which keeps only the final 4 frames captured) and long-period continuous shooting, which allows you to take up to 40 shots at a maximum speed of 1.1 frames per second. The other modes have a maximum frame rate of 1.5 frames per second.
 
Playback Mode
The playback mode provides all of the functions you would expect to see, from 9-image index views to the ability to sort images by date and sequentially. You can zoom in up to 5.5x on recorded images: enough to see fine detail and check focus.

    Sony Cyber-shot HX100V

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
