M (User Setting Mode)
Setting combinations frequently used in shooting (user setting) can be saved in
M.
The saved settings can be immediately retrieved for shooting simply by rotating the
mode dial to
M. This is convenient when you want to shoot with these settings or
you only want to change the settings slightly. Shooting is possible in
j
(Programmed auto), k (Shutter-priority auto), l (Aperture-priority auto), and m
(Manual). The following settings can be saved in
M.
Basic Settings

1 Choose the standard shooting mode. The current flexible program (when set to j), shutter speed

2 The current monitor display setting and zoom position will also be saved.
3 The current focus distance will also be saved when set to E (manual focus).
4 The preset value for preset manual applies to the
