+With option `nosectionslide`, no dedicated slide is produced when a new section
+starts. By default when using the `\section` command, a slide is created with
+just the title on it.
+
+The `nosmallcapitals` option supresses the usage of small capitals on
+title page, frame titles and dedicated section slides.
+
+Option `usetotalslideindicator` creates slide numbering in lower right corner
+in following format: #current/#total. By default, just current page number is
+printed.
