Image mode
Allow you to select the combination of image size and
image quality used when saving images. The default setting
is r 4896×3672.
E29
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 default setting results are
unsatisfactory.
E31
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.
E33
Continuous
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.

ISO sensitivity
Higher ISO sensitivity allows you to take pictures of darker
subjects. 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
AF area mode
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
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.
E41
Quick effects
Allow you to enable or disable the quick effects function
(
