Moving to the right side now, let's take a look at the mode wheel. The items here are:
  • Scene mode (portrait, landscape, sports, night scene) - you just select SP on the dial, you cannot choose one of the items in gray; I don't know why Fuji did this.
  • Movie mode - more on this later
  • Auto record - point and shoot
  • Program mode - still point and shoot, but you have access to all camera settings
  • Shutter priority mode - you choose shutter speed, camera picks appropriate aperture. Shutter speed range is disappointing at 2 - 1/1000 sec
  • Aperture priority mode - you choose shutter speed, camera picks aperture. Range is F2.8 - F9, depending on focal length
  • Full manual - you choose both the shutter speed and aperture; same ranges as above
