Configuring the White Balance Setting Manually

Certain complex light sources or other environmental conditions can make it impossible to obtain good results when “Auto” or one of the fixed light source settings is selected for white balance. Manual white balance lets you configure the camera for a particular light source and other conditions.

Note that you must perform manual white balance under the same conditions you will be shooting under. Have a sheet of white paper on hand before starting the following procedure.

1.In a REC mode, press [MENU].

2.Select a “Quality” tab, select “White Balance”, and then press [￿].

3.Use [￿] and [￿] to select “Manual”.

This causes the object you last used to adjust manual white balance to appear on the monitor screen. If you want to use the same settings you configured during a previous manual white balance setting operation, skip step 4 and perform step 5.

4.Point the camera at a white paper or similar object under the lighting conditions for which you want to set the white balance, and then press the shutter button.
