    A Fujinon?

    Can you give me the model number?

    Guessing

    T = Telephoto
    W= Wideangle

    The picture of a face with brackets means focus on the face in the image i.e. Portrait mode.

    The button with a camera image with echo's behind it seems like fast frame mode i.e. take lots of pictures when the shutter button is pressed, i.e. not single shot mode (I almost always work in single shot mode).

    The mode dial:

    M = manual
    C= Custom
    A = Aperture priority also known as Av (which means the size of the hole left by the lens blades when the shutter is pressed)
    S = Shutter priority also known as Tv this basically say I am choosing the speed of the shutter blades when Av is saying I am choosing how much light gets into the lens
    P = Programme = I don't know how to use a camera so I will let the computer in the camera work it out, it's not a bad option for most people.
    The orange camera picture on the mode dial = I really don't know anything about photography please take my pictures for me. i.e fully auto.

    Is this two separate cameras?

    Ah no it's the back of the camera.

    > Play for video
    Delete Images is the bin.

    This is all standard stuff across all cameras?

    I'll check back through our PMs and see if I can find the details I sent you last time.

    BTW, the manual Mode M just means you have to set the aperture and the speed, sadly there is a third variable called the ISO or in the old days ASA (I mean back in the 1970s) the ISO makes the whole thing complicated and that's why you have P and "Camera Picture" (automatic) modes.

    The flower or Tulip is "closeup" mode i.e. I am really close to the subject and I want it to be in focus.

    The square is not that clear usually that would be related to focus points and focus point selection but I don't know this camera and without reference to the manual I can't be sure.

    I use Canon equipment exclusively these days although I've worked professionally with a whole host of camera hardware, from Nikon to Rollei to Mamiya to Canon to Pentax and a whole load of pro equipment you would never have heard of.

    The lightning bolt is the flash menu.

    And my current phone is a Hasselblad :D (the camera manufacturer that provided the cameras for the apollo programme and which went to the moon).

    It's an ok camera but Hasselblad only worked on the colour science for it they sadly were not involved in the lenses or anything like that.

    The tulip button is only for people who live in the Netherlands and they must wear clogs :)

    They still are Malcolm, their top end medium format cameras are still coming in at around £30,000.

    Hasselblad and Leica were the ultimate in luxury but they had some basis in being the engineering ultimate at the time also.

    I never took you for one of those people who walks around with a flashy camera with lots of buttons and dials that you don't know how to use!

    Do you have one of these too:

    Definitely...
