Abstract: An imaging apparatus including a user interface generating displays for optimizing a user's experience when indicating preferred options prior to performing a function. Displays for relatively large user interfaces are bifurcated into a settings pane including a plurality of settings associated with the selected function and a preset pane including a preconfigured set of settings and options for the same function. A transparent drawer—including specific settings and/or options corresponding to a setting from the settings pane—is operative to be launched and closed when the said setting has been selected and deselected, respectively. Selected options are implicitly stored and automatically summarized on the settings pane. Displays for relatively small user interfaces also feature a bifurcated display manifested by a resizable settings pane operative to expand and reduce in response to user input, the resizable settings pane featuring a summary of selected options.
