Chapter 3 Advanced Operation
Setting the White Balance
This digital camera has automatic white balance. Beautiful images
can be taken under any light source. However, manual white balance
is necessary when the light source illuminating the white balance
window is different than the light source illuminating the subject.
For example, if the camera is in a room illuminated by a fluorescent
lamp, and the subject is outside illuminated by direct sunlight,
manually set the white balance to the daylight mode.
This camera has five white balance modes.
Auto white balance
The camera measures the color temperature of the light
environment by an external sensor.
Daylight - used when the subject is illuminated by daylight.
Tungsten - used when the subject is illuminated by tungsten
(incandescent) light.
Fluorescent - used when the subject is illuminated by fluorescent
light. Use this symbol for household and office environments.
Flash - used when the subject is illuminated by flash, it is necessary
to set this mode manually when using a PC mounted or non-
dedicated flash.
