RECORDING IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY
Turn the exposure-mode dial to the auto-recording position (1); all
camera operations are now fully automatic. The autofocus,
exposure, and imaging systems will work together to bring beautiful
results effortlessly.
While many of the camera’s systems in this mode are automatic.
The flash mode (p. 26) and drive mode (p. 45) can also be
changed. Image size and quality can be set on the auto-recording
menu (p. 44, 51-52).
Metering mode
* Changes to the flash mode, focus area, or drive mode are reset when the exposure-
mode dial is turned to another position.
** When the sports action subject program is selected with Automatic Digital Subject
Program Selection (p. 23), the camera continues to focus when the shutter-release
button is held partway down (continuous AF).

The camera uses the exposure system to control the brightness of the live monitor image.
This is achieved by varying the CCD sensitivity and controlling the aperture. The aperture
can sometimes be heard stopping down or opening up with changes in subject brightness.
