NOTES:
● In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white paper |
in some circumstances. In such a case, adjust focus |
manually (☞ pg. 35). |
● A subject can be shot under various types of lighting |
conditions indoors (natural, flourescent, candlelight, |
etc.). Because the color temperature is different |
depending on the light source, the tint of the subject will |
differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this |
function for a more natural result. |
● Once you adjust white balance during Manual White |
EXIT
Balance operation, the setting is retained even if the |
power is turned off or the battery removed. |
