Kodak DC5000 manual Selecting a White Balance for Indoor Pictures

Selecting a White Balance for Indoor Pictures

If you use your camera indoors where flash is prohibited, your pictures may take on a green tint if captured under fluorescent tube lighting, or a reddish-orange tint if captured under tungsten household lighting. You can correct this problem using the White Balance feature on the camera. Use the Auto setting for everyday pictures. Use the Daylight, Fluorescent, or Tungsten setting for taking pictures under these lighting conditions without flash.
