F [AF/MF SETTING]

Adjust focus settings.

[FOCUS AREA]

Choose the focus area for autofocus, manual focus, and focus zoom (a Focus-Point Selection).

[FOCUS MODE]

Choose how the camera focuses (a Focus Mode).

Mode	Description
p [MANUAL FOCUS]	Focus manually using the lens focus ring. Choose for manual control of focus or in situations in which the camera is unable to focus using autofocus (a Manual Focus).
k [CONTINUOUS AF]	Focus is continually adjusted to reflect changes in the distance to the subject while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Use for subjects that are in motion. Eye-detection AF is not available.
l [SINGLE AF]	Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Choose for stationary subjects.

[AF MODE]

Choose the AF mode for focus modes l and k (a Autofocus Options (AF Mode)).

[SNAPSHOT]

Focus is fixed at the selected distance—[5m] (5 meters) or [2m] (2 meters)—allowing pictures to be taken as soon as the shutter button is pressed all the way down. Choosing this option helps ensure that you won’t miss the chance to take a shot.

Options
[5m]	[2m]	[OFF]

[RELEASE/FOCUS PRIORITY]

Choose how the camera focuses in focus mode [AF-S] (l) or [AF-C] (k).

Option	Description
[RELEASE]	Shutter response is prioritized over focus. Pictures can be taken when the camera is not in focus.
[FOCUS]	Focus is prioritized over shutter response. Pictures can be only taken when the camera is in focus.

[AF+MF]

If [ON] is selected and focus is locked by, for example, keeping the shutter button pressed halfway when [SINGLE AF] is selected for [FOCUS MODE], focus can be adjusted manually by rotating the control ring.

Options
[ON]	[OFF]

[FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING]

Option	Description
[FACE ON/EYE OFF]	Intelligent Face Detection only.
[FACE ON/EYE AUTO]	The camera automatically chooses which eye to focus on when a face is detected.
[FACE ON/RIGHT EYE PRIORITY]	The camera focuses on the right eye of subjects detected using Intelligent Face Detection.
[FACE ON/LEFT EYE PRIORITY]	The camera focuses on the left eye of subjects detected using Intelligent Face Detection.
[FACE OFF/EYE OFF]	Intelligent Face Detection and eye priority off.

[PRE-AF]

If [ON] is selected, the camera will continue to adjust focus even when the shutter button is not pressed halfway. Note that this increases the drain on the battery.

Options
[ON]	[OFF]

[AF ILLUMINATOR]

If [ON] is selected, the AF-assist illuminator will light to assist autofocus.

Options
[ON]	[OFF]

R [RELEASE TYPE]

Choose how the shutter button functions when e[4K] > f[4K BURST] is selected as the drive mode.

Option	Description
[WHEN PRESSING]	Pictures are taken while the shutter button is pressed.
[ON/OFF SWITCH]	Shooting starts when the shutter button is pressed and ends when the button is pressed a second time.
[PRE RECORD]	The camera starts saving frames to a memory buffer when the shutter button is pressed halfway. When the shutter button is pressed the rest of the way down, the camera transfers the frames shot in the previous second to the memory card and continues shooting until the shutter button is released.

N [ISO]

Adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light.

Option	Description
[AUTO1] [AUTO2] [AUTO3]	Sensitivity is automatically adjusted in response to shooting conditions. Choose the base sensitivity, maximum sensitivity, and minimum shutter speed for [AUTO1], [AUTO2], and [AUTO3].
[12800]–[200]	Adjust sensitivity manually. Selected value is shown in display.
[H] (25600/51200), [L] (100)	Choose for special situations. Note that mottling may appear in pictures taken at [H], while [L] reduces dynamic range.

AUTO

Choose the base sensitivity, maximum sensitivity, and minimum shutter speed for [AUTO1], [AUTO2], and [AUTO3]. Defaults are shown below.

Item	Options	Default
		[AUTO1]	[AUTO2]	[AUTO3]
[DEFAULT SENSITIVITY]	6400–200	200
[MAX. SENSITIVITY]	6400–400	800	1600	3200
[MIN. SHUTTER SPEED]	1⁄500–1/4 SEC, AUTO	AUTO

The camera automatically chooses a sensitivity between the default and maximum values; sensitivity is only raised above the default value if the shutter speed required for optimal exposure would be slower than the value selected for [MIN. SHUTTER SPEED].

O [IMAGE SIZE]

Choose the size and aspect ratio at which still pictures are recorded.

T [IMAGE QUALITY]

Choose a file format and compression ratio. Select [FINE] or [NORMAL] to record JPEG images, [RAW] to record RAW images, or [FINE+RAW] or [NORMAL+RAW] to record both JPEG and RAW images. [FINE] and [FINE+RAW] use lower JPEG compression ratios for higher-quality JPEG images, while [NORMAL] and [NORMAL+RAW] use higher JPEG compression ratios to increase the number of images that can be stored.

U [DYNAMIC RANGE]

Control contrast. Choose lower values to increase contrast when shooting indoors or under overcast skies, higher values to reduce loss of detail in highlights and shadows when photographing high-contrast scenes. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and deep shade, for such high-contrast subjects as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves, and portraits taken against a blue sky, and for white objects or people wearing white; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at higher values.
