Setting Description

Shade The camera balances color assuming the subject is outdoors in shade, in dark cloudy conditions, or at

dusk.

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

Fluorescent The camera balances color based on fluorescent lighting.

Manual The camera calculates a custom White Balance

based on your target image (see the following subsection).

If the setting is anything other than the default Auto setting, the icon for the setting (in the previous table) will appear in the Live View screen.

Except in My Mode (page 52), the new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The White Balance setting resets to the default Auto setting when you turn the camera off.
