Adjusting the white balance setting
The PhotoPC 850Z has three white balance settings
that are accessible when in the Program or Manual
camera mode.
When to adjust 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, set white
balance to FIX 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. Use CUSTOM to m ak e u se r
settings. See “Making user settings for white balance”
on page 2-33.
