Using the Menus: Shooting Mode
ANotes
•At settings other than Q, auto white balance is used with the flash. Turn the flash off (pg. 28) to take pictures at other settings.
•Results vary with shooting conditions. Play pictures back after shooting to check colors in the monitor.
■Q: Custom White Balance
Choose Q to adjust white balance for unusual lighting conditions. The options at right will be displayed; frame a
CANCEL
white object so that it fills the
monitor and press the shutter button all the way down to measure white balance.
If “COMPLETED!” is displayed, press MENU/OK to set white balance to the measured value. This value is stored even when the battery is removed and can be reselected by pressing MENU/OK when custom white balance options are displayed.
If “UNDER” is displayed, raise exposure compensation (pg. 25) and try again.
If “OVER” is displayed, lower exposure compensation and try again.
BTip
To give a deliberate color cast to your photographs, measure a value for custom white balance using a colored instead of a white object.
