Functions that cannot be selected from menus
Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.
• Items that cannot be set with the current shooting mode
• Items that cannot be set because of an item that has already been set:
Combination of [MACRO] and [FLASH MODE], etc.
Selecting the optimal record mode
Record modes are divided into 2 main types: RAW and JPEG. RAW records
without reflecting the settings for exposure compensation, white balance, etc.
on the images themselves. JPEG records as images that reflect these
settings. JPEG also compresses images to reduce the file size when
recording them. JPEG is divided into [SHQ], [HQ] and [SQ] types based on
the image size (pixel count) or compression rate. The higher the compression
rate, the grainier the image will appear when enlarged during display. A rough
guide for selection is shown below.

switched on in “Easy shooting modes” (P. 18), it changes to specific settings.

RESET SETTING]. You can select up to 2 types of settings for reset. Set
