The red terminal labelled with "V Ω Diode Hz Continuity" is used for all voltage, resistance, diode, frequency/period, and continuity functions described above (including the voltage measurement for AC+DC).

The two red terminals labelled 20A and 500mA MAX are used for all current functions described above (including the current measurement for AC+DC). Basically, the 20A terminal is for higher currents, and the 500mA MAX terminal is for low currents. If you're unsure of how much current you'll measure, always start with the 20A terminal first. Then, only switch to the low current terminal if the amperage is well below 500mA.

Only then, switch to the low current terminal if the amperage is well below 500mA. Keep in mind that the 20A terminal will not give any readings in the "auto-detect" mode. You must set the range manually with the "Level/Value" up and down arrows.
