Controls
Modes
Auto Mode
The Intelligent Auto mode locks out all user control of settings except for image size and quality. This automated system lets the camera figure out appropriate settings based on recognizing the scene at hand, as opposed to the basic Full Auto setting found on less sophisticated cameras, which simply take a light reading and sets the exposure accordingly.
Movie Mode
The FS7 is capable of capturing videos, recording them in QuickTime format at the following resolutions and frame rates: 640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps, 320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps, and 848 x 480 pixels, at 30 fps.
Drive/Burst Mode
The FS7 does have a Highspeed Burst mode that will capture up to 6 frames per second at resolutions below 3 megapixels. In Standard shooting mode, it will capture up to 2.5 frames per second, with a maximum of 5 images.
Playback Mode
There are 3 playback modes on the FS7 that allow you to review all captured images one-by-one or as part of a slideshow, or by category. Categories are by date, scene mode, or even favorite pictures - you can tag pictures as favorites so that they subsequently appear in this category.
Custom Image Presets
The FS7 is loaded with custom image presets - there are 26, to be exact. Are you ready? They are: Portrait, Soft Skin, Transform, Self Portrait, Scenery, Sports, Night Portrait, Night Scenery, Food, Party, Candle, Light, Baby 1, Baby 2, Snow, Aerial photo, Film Grain, and Photo Frame.
There's even a scene mode help screen to describe each of them, making the user's guide even less essential in day-to-day use.
