Setting the White Balance

The camera’s auto white balance system compensates for a wide range of lighting conditions. Although slight variations are unavoidable, colors will appear natural in virtually every situation.

In some cases, you will get better results by setting the white balance yourself, or using one of the two preset modes:

TIndoor Mode

•Under halogen or studio/video lighting

•Subject is of one dominant color

•Close ups

UOutdoor mode

•In daylight, especially for close- ups and where the subject is of one dominant color

WHITE BAL.••AUTO

( 35)

Using the Full Range of Features

1.Make sure the camera is set to record pause mode in the Q

(program AE) mode.

2.Open the camera menu and point the arrow at WHITE BAL.

3.a) For the indoor, outdoor or auto settings, press the selector dial in to choose the setting.

•T/U appears in the display when you set the white balance to indoor/outdoor mode.

b)To set the white balance yourself, point the camera at a white object (such as a sheet of paper) and zoom in until it fills the display. Then press the selector dial in to select SET.

•The W display flashes then remains lit.

•Depending on the light source, the flashing may at times continue. The result will remain better than with the auto setting and you can continue recording.

4.Close the menu.
