Auto White Balance is designed to automatically adjust the camera to produce natural flesh tones. In most situations it works fine. In some situations where several different types of lighting are present, enhanced performance can be achieved by setting the white balance manually.

[Preparation]

Set the mode dial except for [Manual background ]/[Manual background ]/ [Manual background]. (P25)

1Press the [MENU] button.

2Press 3/4 to select [W.BALANCE].

3Press 2/1 to select the mode.

[AUTO]: if the auto white balance is set

[ Manual background ] (Daylight):

for recording outdoors on a bright day

[ Manual background ] (Cloudy):

for recording under a cloudy and shady sky

[ Manual background ] (Halogen):

for recording under halogen lighting

[ Manual background ] (White set):

for manual setting (Read the following page where the manual setting is explained in detail)

4Press the [MENU] button.

The menu will disappear.

The setting of the white balance is applied to the other recording modes.

In simple mode [Manual background ] or motion image mode [Manual background ], the white balance is fixed to [AUTO].

When taking a picture with the flash, the white balance will be automatically adjusted (only when in [AUTO] or halogen mode [ Manual background ]), but the white balance may not be properly adjusted when the flash light is insufficient.
