Options Available in the Auto Shooting Menu
When using A (auto) mode, the following settings can be changed.
• The same items can be set when using continuous
shooting mode ( A 50). Other than the continuous
shooting type, items share the same settings with
continuous shooting mode, and the settings are
saved in the camera’s memory even if the camera is
turned off.

Option Description A
Image mode
Allows you to select the combination of image size and
image quality used when saving images (
A 71).
This setting is also applied to other shooting modes.
71
White balance
Allows you to adjust the color tones of the image to match
what you see with your eye. Although Auto (default setting)
can be used in most shooting conditions, if the desired color
tones are not achieved, adjust white balance to suit the sky
conditions or light source.
• When white balance is set to settings other than Auto or
Flash, set the flash mode ( A 56) to off (W).
E30
Metering
Allows you to 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.
E33
ISO sensitivity
Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured.
By increasing the shutter speed, this feature can also reduce
blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement
even when shooting in adequately lit conditions. When ISO
sensitivity is set to Auto (default setting), the camera sets the
ISO sensitivity automatically, and E is displayed while
shooting when ISO sensitivity increases.
E34
AF area mode
Allows you to determine how the camera selects the focus
area that is used for autofocus; the available settings are
Face priority, Auto, Manual, Center, and Target finding
AF (default setting). When using Target finding AF, if the
camera detects the main subject, it focuses on that subject.
