White balance

If you press OK when the White Balance option is highlighted in the Capture menu, 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 the camera off. Set the White Balance according to the situations explained in the following table.

Icon	Setting	Description
None	Auto	The camera automatically identifies and
		corrects for the scene illuminant.
	Sun	The camera balances color assuming it
		is outdoors under sunny or bright cloudy
		conditions.
	Shade	The camera balances color assuming it
		is outdoors in shade, in dark cloudy
		conditions, or at dusk.

Tungsten The camera balances color assuming incandescent or halogen lighting (typically found in homes).
