My Default Settings

  • Shooting mode: P
  • Focus mode - use center point; turn AiAF off
  • Metering - Evaluative
  • Sensitivity - ISO 100
  • Exposure Compensation: -2/3
  • Picture setting: Vivid
  • Auto focus assist lamp- ON
  • Red-eye mode - OFF
  • White balance - AUTO
  • Digital Zoom - OFF
  • LCD Review: 3 seconds
  • Power save - 2 minutes

Use these as default settings but adjust as needed.

After taking hundreds of shots with the A510 and for general phototaking, I am convinced that shooting in P mode with AiAF OFF (so the camera focuses with the center area frame only) is most accurate. I get consistently better photos: more focused, better exposed; more saturated color.
