In latest computerized Digital cameras there are many advanced features like, Zoom in/out, flashing & LCD display screen, Self-Timer mode having multiple options given below and many more;

• Capture: To capture your images, and set camera options using the LCD menus.
• Review: To review the images you’ve captured, and edit and organize the images.
• Connect: To connect the camera to a computer for downloading your images.
• Info: To view information specific to the camera.
• Album Menu: Allows you to organize and store images to in-camera albums on the memory card.
• Auto: Automatically adjusts the white balance setting based on the scene being shot. (This is the default setting.)
• Daylight: Adjusts the white balance for natural, neutral daylight lighting.
• Fluorescent: Adjusts the white balance for images captured under fluorescent lighting to remove the greenish tint that sometimes occurs.
• Tungsten: Adjusts the white balance for images captured under tungsten lighting to remove the reddish-orange tint that sometimes occurs.
• Off: Applies no white-balance adjustment.
• External Flash: Allows you to disable the camera’s flash and use the external flash sync to provide the flash.

In such cameras, user interface needs lots of screens, buttons and menu options to manage all above functionality. Few have created a very clear series of screens, menus and buttons to control the camera, but the result is still a “deep interface” that can take a lot of time and complexity to navigate different functions.
Question:
Propose and suggest an interface for a computerized digital camera that cover a variety of users (Children, Old, Young, Special people) and can lead to a good user experience.
