A reliable sorce close to Pentax ;-) provides the following information: The 928 allows you, in this setting to employ a hyper focal distance focus. It automatically focuses at 9 feet. With the lens automatically zoomed to the 28mm position, you effectively have sharpness from a couple of feet from the camera to infinity. I don't know if the aperture selected is a little smaller as well, but it might be.
The small flower icon indicates 'macro' mode.
