- Image Stabilization: Shoot Only
- Sensitivity - 80
- Exposure Compensation: -1/3 (live in sunny area)
- Print/Share button programmed for quick access to ISO settings
- Auto focus assist lamp- ON

I use these settings most of the time but change as needed. Adjustments are made according to the quality of light and whether photos are taken inside or out. For example, I'd rarely using Exposure Compensation for inside photos and I'd most likely increase the ISO. I'd also change the white balance setting to match the predominant lighting in the room.
