Specifying Power On Default Settings
The cameras mode memory feature lets you specify the
power on default settings individually for the REC mode,
flash mode, white balance mode, ISO sensitivity, and
digital zoom mode. Turning on mode memory for a mode
tells the camera to remember the status of that mode when
you turn off the camera, and restore it the next time you
turn the camera back on. When mode memory is turned
off, the camera automatically restores the initial factory
default setting for the applicable mode.
The following table shows what happens when you turn
mode memory on or off for each mode.

scene when you turn it back on again, regardless of

the flash will be turned off when you turn the camera

setting.
