Fujifilm FinePix XP10

Auto Mode

When set to scene recognition mode, the camera analyzes the shooting situation and attempts to identify it as a portrait, landscape, night, macro, backlit portrait or night portrait shot, adjusting settings accordingly. Face detection and continuous autofocus are set to 'on' in this mode.
 

If none of these scene situations are recognized, the camera shoots in the basic Auto mode, which adjusts camera settings based entirely on light readings and locks out most user setting adjustments.

Movie Mode

Videos can be recorded in 720p high-def (1280x720), or with 640x480, or 320x240 resolution. Instead of switching to a separate movie mode, pressing the dedicated video button on the camera back starts recording. If you want to watch your videos on a TV screen, you're going to have to invest in an optional AV output cable. And if you want to watch your 720p videos in high def, your only option is the computer screen, since the camera has no high-def output capability.

Drive/Burst Mode

There is a sort of burst mode, delivering one shot per second on a good day. There's also a fairly elaborate self-timer. In addition to the usual 2- or 10-second timed delays, the couple timer will wait until two people are in the shot, with an adjustable distance between them, and the group timer will wait until the desired number of people (from 1 to 4) are in frame. 

Playback Mode

There are two full-screen playback views, one with photo info overlaid, the other with a clean screen. Shots can also be magnified or viewed in groups of two, nine or a hundred. The two-image view is handy for comparing similar shots side by side. You can use the image search function to find photos based on date, scene recognition mode, type (still, movies), or face detection.
 

Photos can be cropped, with or without changed aspect ratio, and resized for easy upload. Brightness, contrast and color can all be tweaked. You can also add brief voice memos to your photos. Movies can be trimmed down, backlight correction can be applied, and video can be transformed into black and white or sepia. All in all, this is a decent array in-camera editing options.
 

Preset Scene Modes

With no manual controls at hand, the best you can do to tailor the camera settings to the current situation is choose a preset scene mode. These include natural light (for flash-less low-light photography), portrait, portrait enhancer (improved skin tones), landscape, sport, night, night (tripod), sunset, snow, beach, underwater, party, flower and text. Auction mode is interesting for eBay types: it combines up to four shots in a single 640x480 image to simplify product postings. And, as mentioned in the Flash section above, there is also a mode that takes two photos in rapid succession, one with flash and one without.
