NOTES

When you select the custom white balance:

-Set the custom white balance in a sufficiently illuminated place.

-Turn off the digital zoom ( 142).

-Reset the white balance when the lighting conditions change.

-Depending on the light source, may keep flashing. The result will still be better than with [ Automatic].

Custom white balance may provide better results in the following cases:

-Changing lighting conditions

-Close-ups

-Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest)

-Under mercury lamps and certain types of fluorescent lights

Depending on the type of fluorescent light, optimal color balance may not be obtained with [ Fluorescent] or [ Fluorescent H]. If the color looks unnatural, select [ Automatic] or [ Custom WB].
