The lightning bolt is for the flash. Autoflash, autoflash with red-eye reduction, fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, slow sync with red-eye reduction, and flash cancel. The photos are brighter when the flash is on, and sometimes it enhances or ruins the pictures. It slows down the image so that the image doesn't turn out blurry. 2 seconds. 4 seconds. So the picture isn't blurry and too bright. It's to allow the camera to focus as close as 1 cm. You can get one centimeter close the object. Yes. Well you can but you shouldn't. The running man is for moving objects/ action pictures. The face is for portraits. The mountains are for landscape. The Sun is for sunsets. Night portrait is for night scenes. The portrait really captures the features of the person than the auto mode. When the using the auto on a moving object the picture comes out blurry but when you use the action mode the picture is pretty perfect. Changing the picture quality and image.
