Hitachi digital camera - meaning of icons?

Hi there
My daughter recently handed me down a digital camera in an effort to bring me into the 21st Century.

It is a HITACHI 1051e.

It is easy to use, but I have no idea what the small icons on the dial at the top mean..

They are as follows:

The letter A (coloured red)

A hand (apparently waving)

<-> (two arrows connected)

Picture of a movie projector

Upper section of a man beside a building

The Letter M

The letters Av

The Letters Tv

The Letter P

The Letters SCN

I have tried to get an instruction manual, without success ... and my daughter could not assist.

I'm sure it's pretty basic stuff but ....

Many thanks for your help in advance

A = Automatic (camera does everything)
A waving hand - probably to warn of too slow shutter speed leading to possible shake.
two arrows - probably move between programs using the joystick controller on the rear
Picture of a movie projector, video mode
Upper section of a person, portrait mode at best guess
M - total manual control, you set aperture and speed
Av - aperture priority, you set aperture, camera sets shutter speed
Tv, opposite to last, shutter priority, you set speed, camera sets aperture
P - Program mode (don't know what those are, but they may appears as icons, head for close up, mountains for landscape, moon for night etc)
SCN - no idea.

Later, SCN stands for 'scene', or the program for a landscape photograph.
