Auto Mode

Auto mode works well on the S620, which is good because that's what most users tend to shoot with. The scene modes are plentiful and offer Nikon's standard fare. There's also an auto scene selector option that allows the camera  to automatically choose a scene mode (from Portrait, Night Portrait, Close-up, Landscape, Night Landscape or Backlight) based on the camera's analysis of the shooting situation.
 

The Smile feature (automatically snaps a photo when your subject smiles) and Subject Tracking option (keeps a moving subject in focus and exposed) aren't very exciting as they don't perform at a high enough caliber to consider them truly useful.
 

Movie Mode

The S620 can record movies with sound in two sizes—TV movie is 640 x 480 and small size is 320 x 240.
 

Drive/Burst Mode

The camera has a couple of continuous shooting modes including a Best Shot Selection feature that will capture 10 images when you press the shutter button and automatically saves the sharpest image. This is a good option to have when you're shooting in low light or trying to photograph a moving subject.
 

Playback Mode

Playback options include image retouch, D-lighting, slideshow, rotate, and copy. There's also a 10x digital zoom available when reviewing your pictures.
 

Custom Image Presets

Scene modes include: Food, Sports, Close Up, Sunset, Landscape, Dusk/Dawn, Party, Museum, Beach/Snow, Back Light, Fireworks Show, Copy, Night Portrait, Portrait, Panorama Assist, and Night Landscape. There are also a number of picture effects including a customizable option that allows you to control contrast.
