WHITE BALANCE

White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. One automatic and four preset white-balance setting are available in the movie/audio and manual recording modes. White balance is set on the menu.

On the movie/audio or manual recording menu, select the white-balance option; the live image reflects the changes. See page 36 for menu operation.

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

Tungsten - for incandescent lighting: household filament light bulbs.

Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting: office ceiling lights.

Cloudy - for overcast outdoor scenes.

Daylight - for outdoor and sunlit subjects.

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). If the built-in flash fires when using a preset white-balance, the white balance is set to the color temperature of the flash.

Camera Notes

In the manual recording mode, the white balance can also be changed by pressing the down key of the controller.
