NOTE: Settings you change in P, A, S, or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes. For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, you retain the default setting of Color for Auto and Scene modes.

The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, S, and M modes—even when you change modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default (see the table that starts on page 32) to reset P, A, S, or M mode to its default setting.
