Tell me about my camera.

Your camera is actually a very nice camera.

That dial is the mode dial which changes settings of the camera to suit the subject your are shooting.

These modes are:

Auto
The camera does everything for you, you just point and shoot

PS(Anti Blur)
Not sure but Anti Blur suggests either that it increases the ISO (sensitivity of the sensor) to give faster shutter speeds to reduce blur or that it uses some form of optical stabilsation. Check the manual for the real answer.

Natural Light
Guessing that this just uses a colour temperature of around 5600K with Matrix metering to even out the exposure across the scene. In other words this mode might produce results that are close to what the human eye see's in terms of colour and overal exposure, but I'm guessing again. RTFM wink1

Natural Light & with Flash
As above but it uses flash too

SP1
Dunno. Might be that you can set your own shooting mode and save it as SP1 and SP2? Again, RTFM wink1

SP2
As above

P
P=Program Mode. The camera sets the shutter speed and aperture but I think you can still change the ISO. The difference between this and full auto is that you can still have control over an external flash and can shoot in either RAW or JPEG, Auto only permits JPEG.

A
A=Aperture Priority. Basically exposure in controlled by three things, aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Aperture controls the amount of light entering the camera via the lens. Shutter speed controls how long that light hits the sensor for and ISO controls how sensitive the sensor is to that light. In Aperture priority you decide what aperture you want to use for your shot and the camera will choose a shutter speed to match. Aperture Priority is probably the most important mode on a camera as it gives you the greatest creative control over your shots without delving into the 'scary' world of fully manual. The aperture you use should be largely determined by your subject for example a portrait of someone would normally be shot using a large aperture like f/4 as this will knock the background out of focus whereas a landscape might be shot at f/22 to maximise the amount of depth of field (the amount of the shot that is in focus front to back).

S
S=Shutter Priority. This is similar to Aperture Priority except that this time you set the shutter speed and the camera chooses the aperture for you. This can be good if you need to use a particulary slow or fast shutter speed but to be honest the same can be done with Aperture Priority so a lot of people just don't use this mode much if at all.

M
M=Manual. You set the shutter speed and the aperture using the light meter in the camera to tell you when you have the correct exposure. This is the most creative option to use as it gives you total freedom but for some people it's too slow or complicated. If you master it though, you'll rarely use any other setting.

Movie SP1/SP2
This is the mode you use to shoot your home pron movies.

Portrait
This mode will choose the best settings for portraits i.e. a large aperture.

Landscape
This mode will choose the best settings for landscapes i.e. a small aperture.

Sport
This will set a fast shutter speed.

Night
Depends on exactly how this one works. Usually it just triggers the flash to be used and adjusts the colour balance if need be other times it just means a slow shutter speed.

Fireworks
This will set a slow shutter speed with a large to medium size aperture.

Sunset
This will set a small aperture and probably use a warm colour balance and might use some exposure compensation.

Snow
This will set the colour balance to cool, something like 4500K probably, but it will more importantly dial in 1-2 stops of exposure compensation.

Beach
Exactly the same as snow but it will use a warm colour temperature

Museum
Usually means it disables the flash and sets a high ISO to compensate.

Party
Not sure to be honest. I'd guess that it uses the flash and a high ISO

Flower
This is a kind of Macro mode, where the camera will focus at a short distance yet use a smallish aperture as depth of field changes when the subject is close to the lens. Might also use a higher ISO.

Text
Not too sure, would think it's similar to Flower though
