Modes Of Operation - Kodak V1233 User Manual

User's Manual
view mode is for viewing images stored in the camera's memory. Although the V1233 can be
simple to use, the camera is actually a sophisticated device with many features. Because these
features are organized in terms of the camera's modes of operation, it is helpful to understand the
modes first before getting into details on the controls, indicators, and menu systems. Table 1
introduces the modes that are discussed in this manual. Details on how to activate the modes will
be provided later.

Auto mode is one of the scene modes. Auto mode is the default mode for
still photography. Auto mode is best for AFHCAN clinical photography.
Custom mode is one of the predefined scene modes. Unlike the other
scene modes, which have set configurations for shutter speed, scene
brightness, etc., custom mode is like a memory function for camera
settings. Any features that were selected when in custom mode will be in
effect the next time custom mode is entered. The settings in custom
mode are not affected by the camera reset function (see Section 1.2.2).
