Basic Shooting and
Image Playback
This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes
on the Mode Dial for best results and how to play back
images.
With Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot while the
camera sets everything automatically (p.75, 276). Also, to
prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations,
advanced shooting function settings cannot be changed.

Auto Lighting Optimizer
In Basic Zone modes, the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.123) will
adjust the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness
and contrast. It is also enabled by default in Creative Zone modes.
