Using the Menus: Shooting Mode

CWHITE BALANCE

For natural colors, choose a setting that matches the light source (for an explanation of “white balance,” see the Glossary on page 107).

Option

Displayed in

4White balance adjusted automatically. Q Measure a value for white balance. p For subjects in direct sunlight.

q For subjects in the shade.

s Use under “daylight” fluorescent lights. t Use under “warm white” fluorescent lights. u Use under “cool white” fluorescent lights. r Use under incandescent lighting.

If 4 does not produce the desired result (for example, when taking a close-up), choose the option that matches the light source, or use custom white balance (pg.70). Once custom white balance is set, the setting remains (unless changed), regardless of if the battery is removed from the camera.

ANotes

•This option is available in Mand Fmodes only.

•At settings other than Q, auto white balance is used with the flash. Turn the flash off (pg. 26) to take pictures at other settings.

•The effects of custom white balance can not be previewed in the monitor.

•Results vary with shooting conditions. Play pictures back after shooting to check colors in the monitor.
