looks like my Kodak c330 passed the fan test.
Thats the test where you turn the fan full power, point at the blades
and shoot. If the blades could be seen frozen then the shutter speed
is fast enough, if you see rotation, use flash. If the fan blades
rotate at 30mph, not much will go faster than that, and no need for
sports mode.
With the flash off, I see rotation.
A lot of P&S have shooting modes, which dont
seem to do much. In sports mode, with the flash off(even in
bright sun light), the photo is too dark. Thus, the auto mode with
flash on freezes the blades just as good as the sports mode does.
