Compact cameras with manual settings

Functional compacts

— digital compact cameras (see "Camera type") with the ability to manually adjust shooting settings: shutter priority, aperture priority, full manual mode. Such models are designed mainly for advanced enthusiasts who are familiar with the theory of photography and at the same time do not want to use expensive and bulky "DSLRs". However, a functional compact can also come in handy for a professional — for example, as a spare camera, or in case portability is crucial.
