OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Specifying Power On Default Settings
The camera’s “mode memory” feature lets you specify the
power on default settings individually for the recording
mode, flash mode, focus mode, white balance mode, ISO
sensitivity, AF Area, self-timer, flash intensity, digital zoom
mode, manual focus position and zoom position. Turning
on mode memory for a mode tells the camera to remember
the status of that mode when you turn off the camera, and
restore it the next time you turn the camera back on. When
mode memory is turned off, the camera automatically
restores the initial factory default setting for the applicable
mode.
—The following table shows what happens when you turn
mode memory on or off for each mode.
*1 The focus mode setting is not remembered for the
Movie mode. PF (Pan Focus) is automatically
selected in the Movie mode.
*2 Only the optical zoom position is remembered.
