The X-5 lets the user quickly and effortlessly select the desired shooting mode - from a total of 10 modes including the hands-off Auto Picture, Scene, Program, Manual, Landscape, and Handheld Night Snap - with a single turn of the mode dial, without having to access the on-screen menu.
Automatic mode takes care of everything for you, while scenes mode provides a choice between various presets (like portrait, landscape, night and macro) -- both modes capture 8-megapixel photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
