Option Description A
Image mode
Set the combination of image size and image quality to be
recorded (
A
71). The default setting is P 4608×3456.
This setting is also applied to other shooting modes.

White balance
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
Metering
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
ISO sensitivity
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
AF area mode
Choose how the focus area is determined from Face
priority (default setting), Auto, Manual, Center, or
Subject tracking.
E37
Autofocus mode
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.
