Adjusting White Balance Manually

Under some light sources, automatic white balance under the “Auto” setting can take a long time to complete. Also, the auto white balance range (color temperature range) is limited. Manual white balance helps to ensure that colors are recorded correctly for a particular light source.

Note that you must perform manual white balance under the same conditions you will be shooting under. You must also have a white piece of paper or other similar object on hand in order to perform manual white balance.

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

2.Select the “REC” 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.
