Example
You can change the white balance for a photographed image
by using colored paper instead of white paper.
MEMO
In AUTO mode, the correct white balance may not be
achieved for subjects such as close-ups of people’s
faces and pictures taken under a special light source.
Select the correct white balance for the light source.
When the flash fires, the white balance (except for
custom white balance) setting for the flash is used.
Consequently, to achieve a particular effect, the flash
mode should be set to C Suppressed flash (p.56).
The specified custom white balance is retained until it is
reset. This setting is retained even if the battery is
removed.
