    •See “Changing the Image Size (Image Mode)” (A71) for information about 
    Image mode.
    •Other than the Continuous (E35), items share the same settings with A

    camera’s memory even if the camera is turned off.
    •Continuous can be selected only when using continuous shooting mode.
    White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
    The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. 
    The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with 
    the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct 
    sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this 
    adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is 
    known as “white balance.” For natural colors, select a white balance setting that 
    matches the light source before shooting.
    Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, the 
    white balance setting suited to a particular light source can be specified manually 
    to achieve more accurate results.
    The current white balance setting is indicated by an icon when shooting (A6). 
    No icon is displayed when Auto is selected.
    Enter A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode M d button M A or C tab M

    Using Preset Manual
    Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a 
    strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance 
    settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images shot under a 
    lamp with a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light).
    Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting 
    used during shooting.
    1Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be 
    used during shooting.
    2Display the shooting menu (A11, 37), use 
    the multi selector to select bPreset manual 
    in the White balance menu, and press the k 
    button.
    •The camera zooms in to the position for measuring 
    white balance.
    3Select Measure.
    •To apply the most recently measured white balance 
    value, select Cancel and press the k button. The 
    white balance setting will not be measured again and 
    the most recently measured value will be set.
    4Frame the reference object in the measuring 
    window.
    5Press the k button to measure a value for preset manual.
    •The shutter is released and the new white-balance value is set. No image is saved.

    Metering
    The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine exposure is 
    known as metering.
    Select how the camera meters exposure.
    Enter A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode M d button M A or C tab M 
    Metering
    OptionDescription
    GMatrix 
    (default setting)Uses a wide area of the screen for metering. This metering mode 
    provides the appropriate exposure for a variety of shooting 
    conditions. Recommended in most situations.
    qCenter-weightedThe camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight 
    to the subject in the center of the frame. Classic meter for 
    portraits; preserves background details while letting lighting 
    conditions in the center of the frame determine exposure. Can 
    be used with focus lock (A78) to meter off-center subjects.
    BNotes About Metering
    While digital zoom is in effect, metering is set to center-weighted metering. The active metering 
    area is not displayed.
    CMetering Area
    The active metering area is displayed in the monitor when Center-weighted is selected for 
    Metering.

    ISO Sensitivity
    When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures.
    Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. 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.
    •Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, when 
    shooting without the flash, when shooting with the camera zoomed in, etc., 
    images may contain noise.
    The current ISO sensitivity setting is indicated by an icon when shooting (A6). 
    •When Auto is selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 100, but is displayed 
    if the ISO sensitivity automatically increases to more than 100.
    •When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value for ISO 
    sensitivity are displayed.
    Enter A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode M d button M A or C tab M 
    ISO sensitivity
    OptionDescription
    Auto 
    (default setting)Sensitivity is ISO 100 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera 
    compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when 
    lighting is dim.
    Fixed range autoSelect the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO 
    sensitivity; ISO 100-400 and ISO 100-800 are available. The camera 
    will not increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the 
    selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for 
    effective control over the amount of grain that appears in images.
    100, 200, 400, 800, 
    1600, 3200ISO sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
    BNotes About ISO Sensitivity
    •Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A73).
    •When ISO sensitivity is fixed, Motion detection (E68) is disabled.

    jBSS (best shot selector)The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting 
    with the flash off or the camera zoomed in, or in other 
    situations in which inadvertent motion can result in blurred 
    images. The camera captures a series of up to 10 images 
    while the shutter-release button is held all the way down, 
    and the sharpest image in the series is automatically selected 
    and saved.
    •Best suited to shooting subjects that are not moving. 
    When shooting moving subjects or when the composition 
    of the picture changes while shooting, the desired results 
    may not be achieved.

    OptionDescription
    aFace priorityWhen the camera detects a human 
    face, it focuses on that face. See 
    “Using Face Detection” (A76) for 
    more information. If more than one 
    face is detected, the camera focuses 
    on the face closest to the camera.
    When taking pictures of subjects 
    other than people, or framing a 
    subject with which no face is 
    detected, the AF area mode setting 
    switches to Auto, and the camera will automatically select the 
    focus area (up to nine areas) containing the subject closest to the 
    camera.
    wAutoThe camera has nine focus areas, and 
    automatically selects the focus areas 
    containing the subject closest to the 
    camera. Press the shutter-release 
    button halfway to activate the focus 
    area. When the shutter-release 
    button is pressed halfway, the focus 
    areas that are in focus (up to nine 
    areas) selected by the camera will be 
    displayed in the monitor.
