To Change The Tint For Recording . . .

.... in step 2, substitute colored paper for white. The white

balance is adjusted based on the color, changing the tint. Red paper — deeper green; blue paper — orange; yellow paper — deeper purple.

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. 33).

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 Balance operation, the setting is retained even if the power is turned off or the battery removed.
