3.Press in the MENU dial until MWB begins blinking.

4.When finished, press in the MENU dial to exit.

To change the tint for recording in step 2, substitute colored paper for white. The white balance is adjusted based on the color, changing the tint.

Red paper = deeper green Blue paper = orange Yellow paper = deeper purple.

Notes:

A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the color temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result.

Once you adjust white balance manually, the setting is retained even if the power is turned off or the battery removed.
