Canon 1901B004, 1901B014 Image Settings

Image Settings

This chapter explains the digital image settings for the image-recording quality, ISO speed, Picture Style, white balance, and color space.

In the Basic Zone modes, only the image-recording quality (except RAW/sRAW, RAW/sRAW+JPEG) and the file numbering method can be set as explained in this chapter. The asterisk M on the right of the page title indicates that the respective feature is available only in Creative Zone modes (d, s, f, a, 8).

When the camera is ready to shoot, you can press the <B> button to see the image settings. (p.168)
