Movie mode is accessible from the camera's main mode dial. The function of movie mode allows users to take short digital videos. Other functional modes accessible on the Sony Cybershot dial include snow, beach, landscape, twilight, twilight portrait, soft snap, and high sensitivity modes. Snow, beach, landscape, twilight, twilight portrait, and soft snap are each pre-programmed settings. The settings are programmed into the camera software to simplify picture taking; their primary function is to allow novice camera users or those who want simplicity to take the best possible shot without having to enter into the camera's main menu. On a traditional single lens-reflex (SLR) camera or on manual digital cameras, these functions must be performed manually: such as by adjusting the lens aperture to let in more or less light or by altering shutter speed to adjust the length of exposure. Basic photographic functions like changes to ISO sensitivity are possible with the Sony Cybershot. The high sensitivity mode boosts ISO up to 3200: a useful function for more advanced users.

The Sony Cybershot also has a zoom lens, which has a specific function of allowing close-ups. By pressing a hard button that is accessible on the back of the camera, the user can zoom in or out with the camera's lens. When the lever is pressed toward the symbol of a magnifying glass with a "plus" sign, the user is actually changing the position of the camera lens without touching the lens at all. Thus, the form of zooming consists of the telephoto button, the internal...

The form of the zoom hard button is not apparently connected to its function; were it not for the symbol of the magnifying glass the user would not know that the button affected the lens' behavior. On a traditional camera, zooming required changing the actual lens on the camera: form was more closely linked to function. Similarly, the button to capture shots, the button to review and play back photos, and the buttons that access menu, and all other hard buttons are forms that are not directly linked to their function. They trigger software that communicates with the hardware, which carries out the intended function.
Finally, the Sony Cybershot does have several formal features that are directly related to their functions. For example, the battery and memory card storage spaces hold those items. Their forms match their functions. Other functions of the Sony Cybershot include taking nighttime or indoors shots using a flash. The built-in flash is nestled into the small form of the pocket-sized camera. When a nighttime setting is selected via the mode menu the flash is engaged, or the user can manually engage the flash. The function of the flash is to add light to a scene; the form that the flash takes is a small bulb residing in the camera and that is triggered by another button.

108). Photographic truth for Gohlke is realized by showing 'the thing itself' but through a subjective perspective, accepting the contextual relativism of postmodernism without attempting to alter the piece with overt artistic tampering. Gohlke has long loved wilderness photography for its apparent purity, although he also obviously finds inspiration in the remote qualities of areas in cities. Gohlke focuses the viewer's intention on content and subject, not his technical virtuosity
