Selecting the white balance

Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when daylight or tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. With a digital camera, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more natural white with a digital processor. This is called white balance. There are 4 options for setting the WB with this camera.

Auto white balance [AUTO]

This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and adjust the color balance accordingly. Use this mode for general use.

Preset white balance [5][2][3][1][w][x][y][n]

8 different color temperatures are programmed on this camera covering a variety of indoor and outdoor lighting including fluorescent lights, light bulbs, and flashes. For example, use preset WB when you want to reproduce more red in the picture of a sunset, or capture a warmer artistic effect under artificial lighting.
