DSC-WX150 "Mode Switch" question

[spartacus_33]

Just joined the forum... and I just bought a little Sony DSC-WX150 Cybershot.

Camera is pretty simple, but one thing is throwing me:

• The MODE SWITCH

The Mode Switch allows you to slide a button between "Still Images" "Sweep/Panorama" and "Movie".

To take a still image... you press the "Shutter Button".

To begin recording... you press the "Movie" button. To stop recording you press the "Movie" button again.

What in the heck is the MODE BUTTON for??? I can take a still when this is set to Movie... I can record when this is set to Still.

I thought maybe the sliding this button between the three options would affect what appeared when I pressed the Menu button... but the Menu button does not appear to be affected by where the Mode button is set.

Please help... the instructions don't go into much detail:
