The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO
100 and 400. When the flash is engaged and sensitivity is set to auto, the ISO value is set to 200.
The changes in ISO also affect the flash range, see below.

Full-time AF
With full-time AF active, the autofocus system continuously focuses to keep the monitor image
sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. When the monitor is turned off
or when the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function
off can help conserve battery power.
Metering Mode
Multi-Segment metering uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is combined
with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced metering system will
give accurate exposures in almost all situations.
Spot Metering uses a small area within the image to calculate the exposure. When this mode is
selected, a small circle will appear in the middle of the live image indicating the measuring area.
The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular subject without being influenced by
extremely bright or dark areas within the scene.
Exposure Bracket
In manual recording mode, the bracketing increment can be changed in three steps:0.3 EV, 0.5 EV,
1.0 EV. The larger the number, the greater the difference in exposure between the images in the
bracketing series. For information on bracketing drive mode, see page 19.
Color Mode
To select between 24- bit color and 8- bit monochrome images. It has no effect on image file size.
When select B&W, through image on the LCD monitor will be displayed in black-and-white.
