Shooting with Your Favorite
Settings (Creative Assist)
Capture shots just as you imagine them, without having to know
photography terms. Choose from easy-to-understand options to defocus
the background, adjust brightness, or customize shots in other ways as
you watch the screen. Once you save the settings you like, it’s easy to
apply them again later. You can also apply settings from past images
captured in [ ] mode.
This mode makes it easier to learn about Creative Zone shooting modes
([ ], [

settings in these modes when viewing images shot in [ ] mode.
