Custom White Balance

 Still Images   Movies

For image colors that look natural under the light in your shot, adjust white balance to suit the light source where you are shooting. Set the white balance under the same light source that will illuminate your shot.

●●Follow the steps in “Adjusting White Balance” (= 76) to choose [] or [].

●●Aim the camera at a plain white subject, so that the entire screen is white. Press the [] button.

●●The tint of the screen changes once the white balance data has been recorded.

●● Colors may look unnatural if you change camera settings after recording white balance data.

Manually Correcting White Balance
