Image mode

Set the combination of image size and image quality to be 
recorded (

71). The default setting is P 4608×3456. 

This setting is also applied to other shooting modes.

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 the default setting results are 
unsatisfactory.
• When the white balance setting is other than Auto or 

Flash, set the flash mode (

A60) to W (off ).

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.

ISO sensitivity

Higher ISO sensitivity allows you to take pictures of darker 
subjects. 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.
• With the Auto setting, E (

A26) is displayed on the 

shooting screen when the ISO sensitivity is automatically 
increased.

AF area mode

Choose how the focus area is determined from Face 
priority (default setting), Auto, Manual, Center,  or 
Subject tracking.

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.
