Manual WB

The surrounding light may affect the color balance of your picture. For example, if a halogen light illuminates a white wall, the wall will have a yellow cast, while in fact it should be white. Underwater pictures tend to be more blue, because the water filters out red colors. The camera’s white balance menu includes settings that compensate for different lighting conditions found on land or underwater. You can also manually set the camera’s white balance if the options found in the white balance menu are not suitable. A digital camera needs to find a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate all the other colors based on this white point.

To manually set the camera’s white balance, select the “Manual WB” located in the Capture menu. Hold the white slate provided about 4in/10 cm in front of the camera lens, so it fills up the picture frame displayed on the LCD. Hold the white slate at a slight angle in the direction of the light source or sun.

*Press the SET button to execute the Manual WB. Do not use Manual WB with flash photography. Reset Manual WB when changing depths or light conditions.

ISO

This sets the sensitivity for capturing images. When the sensitivity is raised (and the ISO figure is increased), photography will become possible even in dark locations, but the more pixelated (grainier) the image will appear.
