P, A, S, and M modes
Use these modes when you want more control over your camera and pictures.
NOTE: Settings you change in P, A, S, or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes. For example,
if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, you retain the default setting of
Color for Auto and Scene modes.
The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, S, and M modes—even when you change
modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default (see the table that starts on
page 32
) to reset P,
A, S, or M mode to its default setting.
