These are the settings I use instead of the factory camera default settings. I change settings if the lighting or other conditions require they be changed.

Settings

• Metering – Matrix
• Sensitivity – 100
• Focus options – Manual
• White balance – Auto
• Auto focus – Single auto focus
• Sharpening – off
• Shot confirmation – off

User and other settings:

The 5400 has two user “banks” where settings can be saved. Use one bank to store these frequently used modes which disable the flash.

• Best Shot Selector (BBS)
• Continuous – on
