A (Auto) Mode Option Image mode White balance Metering ISO sensitivity AF area mode Autofocus mode Description A Set the combination of image size and image quality to be recorded (A71). The default setting is P 4608×3456. 71 This setting is also applied to other shooting modes. Adjust colors in the image closer to the colors as they appear to the eye. Although Auto (default setting) can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to the sky conditions or light source to achieve better results if the default setting results are unsatisfactory. • When the white balance setting is other than Auto or Flash, set the flash mode (A60) to W (off ). E33 Select the method that the camera uses to measure the brightness of the subject. The camera adjusts the exposure, which is a combination of shutter speed and aperture value, based on the brightness measurement. The default setting is Matrix. E35 Higher ISO sensitivity allows you to take pictures of darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures 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. • With the Auto setting, E (A26) is displayed on the shooting screen when the ISO sensitivity is automatically increased. E36 Choose how the focus area is determined from Face priority (default setting), Auto, Manual, Center, or Subject tracking. E37 When Single AF (default setting) is selected, the camera focuses only while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. When Full-time AF is selected, the camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
