Finally, when set to Macro Exposure Mode, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus. In this case, both of the viewfinder lights blink green, and the focus brackets turn red in Live View. See Using auto focus on page 30.

White balance

In the Capture menu (see page 35), if you press OK when the White Balance option is highlighted, the White Balance sub-menu displays. In some cases, it may be necessary to pre-set the light source so the camera can reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites

appear white in the captured image. The setting in this sub-menu determines how the camera will adjust the colors in the image to match the scene illuminant.

The default White Balance setting is Auto. The White Balance setting resets to Auto when you turn off the camera. Set the White Balance according to the situations explained in the following table.
