Using My Mode

My Mode is a customizable shooting mode that allows you to select, save, and then repeatedly use a group of preferred settings on your camera. This shooting mode is especially useful when you frequently take pictures of the same type of subject or scene and want to have the camera set to the same settings each time. For example, you may often take action pictures of your child playing soccer outdoors on bright, sunny days. In this case, you could select and save Action as the shooting mode setting and Sun as the White Balance setting in My Mode, and then simply set your camera to the My Mode shooting mode every time in the future that you wish to take similar pictures.

The settings in My Mode are completely independent from the group of settings used for all other shooting modes on the camera. My Mode settings are saved by default when you turn the camera off.
