“AUTO” ISO sensitivity always is applied for movies, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting.

“S Image AS” (page 81) can be used only when the ISO sensitivity setting is “AUTO”.

An ISO setting of ISO 400 or greater is not supported when the “Image Size” setting is “RAW+”. If the ISO setting is “ISO 400” or greater when you change the “Image Size” setting to “RAW+”, an ISO setting of ISO 200 will be used for recording.

Adjusting White Balance (White Balance)

You can adjust white balance to match the source of light available where you are shooting and avoid the blue cast that results when shooting outdoors when it is cloudy, and the green cast that results when shooting under fluorescent lighting.

1.In the REC mode, use [8] and [2] to select the fourth control panel option from the top (White Balance).
