From the GetItem docs[0]

"GetItem provides an eventually consistent read by default."

This seems to meet the definition of "DynamoDB's default settings"

It's enough of a gray area to make DynamoDB a poor example in this context, since if I were to claim that it was eventually consistent without additional configuration, then an informed person might reasonably assume I didn't know what I was talking about.

It would be better to state that both eventually consistent and fully consistent reads are available, and consistency can be enforced up front via configuration.
