Custom Picture Settings Custom Picture Settings The camera lets you change many settings (A 128) that control various aspects of the image produced. As a set, all these settings are treated as a single custom picture file. After adjusting the desired settings to your preference, you can save up to 20 custom picture files (in the camera or on an SD card), and load them later to apply exactly the same settings (A 127).
