•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 setting for the

flash is used. Consequently, to achieve a particular effect, the flash mode should be set to CSuppressed flash (➝p.61).
