A (auto) mode is useful for general photography, and it allows you to adjust a
variety of settings in the shooting menu (
A53) to suit the shooting conditions
and the type of shot you want to capture.
• If the camera detects a human face, the camera automatically focuses on it.
When no face is detected, the camera automatically selects one (or more) of the
9 focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. See “Focusing on
Subjects” (
A57) for more information.
• The active focus area can be changed when using touch shooting. At the
default setting, the shutter can be released simply by tapping a subject in the
monitor (touch shutter) (
A53) without pressing the shutter-release button.
The Subject tracking option, which moves the active focus area to track the
registered subject, can be enabled (
A53).
Adjusting the A (Auto) Mode Settings
• You can change the settings for the flash mode, self-timer, macro mode, and
exposure compensation. See “Basic Shooting Settings” (
A43) for more
information.
• Press the d button (A2) to display the available menu options in A (auto)
mode. See “Shooting Menu Options” (
