Host: What are the different automatic exposure settings? Jenny Berman: There are several different automatic settings, especially on your little point-and-shoots. You have the green auto, which is the green little camera and then you have those action shots, sport shots, the flower shots and you should also have something called P. P is programmed and it is completely automatic, it just gives you control on whether or not you want turn on or off your flash. Which make the camera speed up and this also gives you just a tiny bit of control with automatic exposure and that s the same on every thing, from an SLR to point-and-shoot. I tried to stay away from the presets as far as the portrait mode, because that s going to turn the red-eye on and you know I don t like red eye. As far as the action mode is, it s going to speed things up and ways that you are not, it s going to have very much control and they are point-and-shoot cameras. So, put them into that P mode with the green auto and just leave it as that.
