Adjusting the white balance

Your camera’s white balance default setting is
Auto, which means white balance is adjusted
for your photos automatically. At certain
times you may want to adjust the white
balance setting so that the colors in your
images appear more like those seen by the
eye.
When taking pictures at dusk, for example, adjust
white balance to Lock to increase reddish color tones
in your images. When taking pictures under white
light, however, keep white balance set to Auto to
avoid a green tone in your images.
Follow these steps to change the white balance setting.
1. Turn the dial switch on the camera to View.
2. Press the SEL button on your camera. Three menu
icons appear at the top of the LCD monitor.
3. Highlight the conditions icon using the
button, then press the SEL button. The Conditions
menu appears.
4. Highlight the auto/menu icon using the
or button, then press the SEL button to select
Manu. The manual settings become available.
5. Highlight the white balance icon using the
button, then press the SEL button. The white
balance menu appears.
6. Select Lock using the or button, then
press the SEL button. The Conditions menu
appears with Lock next to the white balance icon
. An arrow appears beside WB on the
camera’s display panel.
7. To exit the setting menus, press the ESC button
twice.
