Help with Sony 100a

[jdh]

Hi
I bought a Sony 100a several months ago and I am really pleased with it.
The only problem I have is that every time I switch it of it resets all the settings to default, which is a pain. I thought this problem was just one of those things, however last night at our camera club met a new person who has a Sony and his camera does not default everytime it is switched of but retains its settings.
I have searched the instruction book for how to personalise the settings but can't find anything, the person I met last night tells me he hasn't done anything to his camera to make it reatin its settings.
Does anyone have any experience on this matter and can you please advise me.
Many Thanks

Well, every camera has a "restore to defaults" or "reset all" setting. The only question is where to find it in the menu so you could disable it. I have no experience with this camera, so I'd suggest you visit manufacturer specific forum and ask there in the Sony section. ;)

First off, I'm going to assume you mean an A100 or α100.

If you use AUTO (Green bar on the MODE knob) and modify the settings ... the camera will default back to the default AUTO-settings each time you turn off the camera.
