Chapter 1 / Section 3 Using Special Features for Improved Photography

Using Natural and Artificial Lighting (WHITE BALANCE)

With a normal camera, a white subject may not be reproduced as white depending on lighting around the subject.

Digital cameras have a function called White Balance, which automatically adjusts white balance so white subjects are reproduced as white. At purchase, the White Balance is set to "AUTO"; normally you does not need to change the setting, but if the camera is having difficulty adjusting, please change the setting.

[Types of Modes you can Select]
