White balance

White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. One auto- matic and four preset white-balance setting are available. White balance is set in the recording menu (p. 35).

The automatic white balance compensates for the color temperature of a scene. Auto white balance is sufficient in most cases.

When one of the preset white-balance settings is selected, an indicator is displayed on the monitor; the effect is immediately visible in the live image. To record the ambient light, set the flash mode to flash cancel (p. 28). The built-in flash can be used with preset white-balance, but the white balance is set to the color temperature of the flash.

Use the up/down keys of the controller to highlight the white balance option.

Press the right controller key to continue.

Use the up/down keys to select the new setting.

Press the right key or menu button to complete the operation. The left controller key cancels the opera- tion.

Daylight – for outdoor and sunlit subjects.

Cloudy – for overcast outdoor scenes.

Fluorescent – office ceiling lights.

Tungsten – household incandescent light bulbs.
