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 Suppressed flash (p.77).

The specified custom white balance is retained until it is reset. This setting is retained even if the battery is removed.

The color tones may vary depending on the shooting conditions (light source, etc.).

After taking the picture, check the image color (white balance).Explanation of Terms “White Balance” (p.171)Use the same ISO setting when custom white balance was set, before shooting.
