Option Description
A
Image mode
Allows you to select the combination of image size and image
quality used when saving images (A 63).
This setting is also applied to other shooting modes.
63
White balance
Allows you to adjust the color tones of the image to match
what you see with your eye. Although Auto (the default
setting) can be used in most shooting conditions, if the
desired color tones are not achieved, adjust white balance to
suit the sky conditions or light source.
• When white balance is set to settings other than Auto or
Flash, set the flash mode (A56) to W (off).
E30
Continuous
Allows you to capture a series of images. When Continuous
is selected, up to six images are captured continuously at a
rate of about 1.2 fps (when image mode is set to P) while the
shutter-release button is held all the way down. The default
setting is Single (i.e., only one image is captured at a time).
E32
ISO sensitivity
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. When
ISO sensitivity is set to Auto (default setting), the camera sets
the ISO sensitivity automatically, and E is displayed while
shooting when ISO sensitivity increases.
E33
Color options
Allows you to change the color tones of images at the time of
shooting. The available settings are Standard color (default
setting), Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and
Cyanotype.
E34
AF area mode
Allows you to determine how the camera selects the focus
area that is used for autofocus; the available settings are Face
priority (default setting), Auto, Manual, and Center.
