The manual mode settings (see pages 90 to 97) are stored even after the digital disk camera is turned off so it is unnecessary for you to set the manual mode settings each time you switch to the manual mode. This allows you to use the automatic mode and switch to your previously set manual mode settings only when necessary. (You can also set your digital disk camera so that the manual mode settings are cleared each time it is turned off. See page 112. ) By becoming familiar with the manual mode settings, you can perform many different types of interesting effects for a wider range of interesting applications. The settings for the manual and automatic modes are made separately for the still image, sequential shot, and video clip shooting modes. Automatic mode settings In the automatic mode, the digital disk camera performs the following settings automatically. oe Focus setting The focus is set automatically within the distance range of the focus mode set at the focus menu. oe Exposure control setting The exposure (shutter speed and aperture) is set automatically according to the subject conditions. (Program AE) oe White balance setting The white balance is set automatically according to the subject conditions.
