A (Auto) Mode
Used for general shooting. Settings can be adjusted in the shooting menu ( A69) to suit the
shooting conditions and the type of shot you want to capture.
• You can select either Center (default setting) or Target finding AF in AF area mode
( A70) in the shooting menu to determine how the camera selects the focus area that is
used for autofocus.
When Target finding AF is selected, the camera focuses on the main subject if the
camera detects it. If no main subject is detected, the camera automatically selects one or
more of the nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera.
See “Using Target Finding AF” (
A74) for more information.
The focus area can be changed using the touch shutter or touch AF/AE ( A69).
• Subject tracking, which moves the focus area to track the subject, can be set ( A69).
Changing A (Auto) Mode Settings
• You can change the settings for the flash mode, self-timer, macro mode, and exposure
compensation. See “Basic Shooting Settings” ( A57) for more information.
• If you tap F, the menu options available in A (auto) mode are displayed. See “Features
That Can Be Set with F (Shooting Menu)” ( A68) for more information.
