HP R817 Selecting and Saving Preferred Settings in My Mode, Using My Mode

Using My Mode

My Mode is a customizable shooting mode that allows you to select, save, and reuse a group of preferred settings. You can specify a shooting mode (see page 49), Capture menu options (see page 62), and which settings persist in My Mode.

Use this mode if you frequently take pictures of the same type of subject or scene and want the camera set to the same settings each time. For example, you may often take action pictures of your child playing soccer outdoors on sunny days. You could select and save Action as the shooting mode and Sun as the White Balance setting in My Mode, then set your camera to the My Mode shooting mode every time you take similar pictures.

The settings in My Mode are independent from all other shooting mode settings. My Mode settings are saved when you turn the camera off.
