● In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white paper

in some circumstances. In such a case, adjust focus

manually (☞ pg. 29).

● A subject can be shot under various types of lighting

conditions indoors (natural, flourescent, candlelight,

etc.). Because the colour 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.
