I'd be looking in the menu settings under display options.

Thanks, but I can find no option under 'menu' or 'settings' for displaying these items. They are shown in the display picture in the instruction manual.

The LCD Info button controls the display of ISO and Exposure, together with other icons on the screen.
This is the second button in a vertical row of 4 on the right hand side of the LCD.

Pressing the button will change the display from one to another as follows :
. LCD on, status icon display on
. LCD on, status icon display off
. LCD off

The Menu button is meant for changing the values. eg from ISO 200 to ISO 400 or from EV ' 0 ' to EV ' -1 ' and so on.

Thanks. My LCD info button does indeed work like that, but the full display (first press) shows -- flash status; picture MP; no. pictures remaining; camera icon (not sure what that means); and +/- exposure. That's all. No ISO or speed.

BTW, in playing around trying to get the display, I discovered that if you press review, then repeatedly press the LCD info button, you get three screens, the second of which gives you a bunch of info about the picture displayed, including file name, date and time, size, color, flash, auto focus, ISO state, and something called "AWB". Does anyone know what "AWB" means?

OK now you know LCD info is the button to press, not the menu button.
AWB probably means auto white balance. This saves you the trouble of selecting white balance for tungsten or florescence lamp and so on.

OK, reread my response, and ignore the second paragraph. That was just an aside to expose (no pun intended) some interesting info I discovered about the review mode which I had not seen discussed elsewhere. In capture mode, pressing LCD info does not give me even half of the information shown on page 17 of the "Getting Started Guide." Just the stuff I mentioned above.

BTW, automatic white balance does make sense for 'AWB.'

OK, thanks to all. I've figured out a lot of it, but I can't find how to display aperture and speed as shown in the manual.

Hi the camera has to be off automatic, either the mountain or flower symbol, then click on menu, then move down to iso setting, it will be on auto, just move down and select it. this doesn't work when it's on automatic.
You can also alter the white balance settings this way.
Hope this works for you.
Good luck.
best regards
Vince

Just been messing about with my camera, it does work with the auto setting, i just pressed my menu button and scrolled down and pressed the ok button and could alter it from there.

Thanks Vince. I did figure out those two after I asked the original question, as well as a couple of others. But what about the shutter speed and aperture?

Hi again, the only way I can find to alter the shutter speed is to put it into scn mode on the dial where you switch it on. this will give you options for different settings, i.e fireworks; for taking photos of fireworks ,sport:used when subject is moving etc. This is all I can find in that department. Hope it helps a bit.
best regards
Vince

Thanks Vince. That makes sense -- that the shutter speed and aperture would be set by selecting different scn mode settings. But they still don't display on the LCD. I just tried. Oh well. This is supposed to be an easy-to-use point and shoot camera. I guess most folks don't care about the internals.

Glad I was a little bit of help.
Cheers for the points? I've no idea what they are for though.
Good luck with your camera. i'm looking to buy another one, I'm getting lens errors on mine now, I can't use my zoom. probably dirt in it.
Not to worry,
Best regards
vince
