OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Specifying Power On Default Settings

The camera’s “mode memory” feature lets you specify the power on default settings individually for the recording mode, flash mode, focus mode, white balance mode, ISO sensitivity, AF Area, self-timer, flash intensity, digital zoom mode, manual focus position and zoom position. 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.
