•It is recommended that you specify “Dig. Zoom: Off” (See

•Setting the white balance might take a while in some

cases, depending on the shooting environment. In this

case, set white balance in a bright environment using an

object as white as possible.

•The white balance cannot be set when the digital zoom is

engaged or under low light: The “h” indicator will blink

at this time.

•If the white balance that was manually set before is kept,

the “h” indicator will blink.
