Shooting Features
A (Auto) Mode
A (auto) mode is useful for general photography, and
it allows you to customize a variety of settings to suit
the shooting conditions and the type of shot you want
to capture (A37).
• You can change how the camera selects the area of the frame to focus on by
pressing the d button, selecting the A tab, and setting AF area mode. The
default setting is Face priority.
• When AF area mode in the shooting menu is set to Face priority (default
setting) the camera focuses on the subject as follows:
- If the camera detects a human face, the camera automatically focuses on it
(see “Face Detection” (A64) for more information).
- If no faces are detected, the camera automatically selects one or more of the
nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the
subject is in focus, the focus area (active focus area) lights in green (maximum
of nine areas).
Changing A (Auto) Mode Settings
• Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector (A52): Flash mode (A53),
self-timer (A55), macro mode (A56), and exposure compensation (A57).
• Features that can be set by pressing d button: Shooting Menu Options in A
(Auto) Mode (A37).
