The default setting E29 is r 4896×3672. 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 default setting results are unsatisfactory. E31 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. E33 Set the mode used for taking a series of pictures. • The default setting is Single (i.e., only one picture is captured at a time). • When Continuous H, Continuous L, Pre-shooting cache or BSS (A40) is set, the pictures are shot continuously while the shutter-release button is pressed all the way. • If Continuous H: 120 fps, Continuous H: 60 fps or Multi-shot 16 is set, the specified number of pictures are shot continuously when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way.

Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken with faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced. When set to Auto (default setting), the camera sets the ISO sensitivity automatically. E37 Set how the camera determines the focus areas using the autofocus to Face priority (A67), Manual, Center, Subject tracking or Target finding AF (A66) (default setting). E38 When Single AF (default setting) is selected, the camera focuses only while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
