Using A (Auto) Mode Options Available in the Auto Shooting Menu In A (auto) mode, the following options can be changed. Shooting Features On the A (Auto) mode shooting screen M Tap the d tab (A11) Option A Image mode q/s/r Touch shooting X ISO sensitivity V Continuous W White balance Description A Allows you to select the combination of image size and image quality used when saving images (A64). The default setting is P 4608×3456. 64 This setting is applied to other shooting modes. Select between Touch shutter (default setting), which allows you to release the shutter by tapping the monitor, Touch AF/AE, which allows you to set the focus area by tapping the monitor, and Subject tracking, which moves the focus area to track the registered subject. E35 Higher ISO sensitivity allows you to take pictures of darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, images can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced. When ISO sensitivity is set to Auto (default setting), the camera sets the ISO sensitivity automatically. E42 Allows you to select from continuous settings of Single, Continuous, BSS (A47), or Multi-shot 16. The default setting is Single (i.e., only one image is captured at a time). In Continuous, while the shutter-release button is held down, up to 6 images are taken at a rate of about 1.3 frames per second (fps) when Image mode is set to P 4608×3456. E43 Allows you to adjust the colors in the image to suit the light source, which can make colors appear as they do to the eye. Although Auto (default setting) can be used under most types of lighting, white balance can be adjusted to suit the sky conditions or light source and achieve more natural color tones in the image. Set the flash mode (A55) to c (Off) when white balance is set to any setting other than Auto and Flash. E44 C Functions That Cannot Be Used Simultaneously There are functions with which these settings cannot be enabled (A66). 39
