Adjusting the white balance setting

The PhotoPC 3000Z has three white balance settings that are accessible when the Program or Manual camera mode is selected, one of which is a custom setting that you can make yourself.

When to adjust the white balance

Your camera’s white balance default setting is AUTO. When AUTO is selected, the camera adjusts the white balance automatically. At certain times you may want to manually adjust the white balance setting so that the colors in your images appear more realistic.

For example, make FIX the white balance setting when taking pictures at dusk to increase the reddish color tones in your images. However, keep the white balance set to AUTO when taking pictures under white light to avoid a green tone in your images.

If you are an experienced user, and you want to make your own custom white balance settings, see “Making a custom white balance setting” on page 4-10.
