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.
