Fully Automatic Shooting

This chapter describes how to use the camera’s Basic Zone modes <Y> <O> <A> for quick and easy shooting. In these modes, all you do is point and shoot. Also, these modes override the camera’s <l> and AF Mode dials, film advance mode lever (except ), and buttons (except <0> <6> and the shutter button). This is to prevent spoiled shots caused by accidental operation of camera controls.
