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. You must also have a white 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.

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.

White paper

This starts the white balance adjustment procedure. The message “Complete” appears on the monitor screen after white balance adjustment is complete.

5.Press [SET].

This registers the white balance settings and returns to the currently selected recording mode.
