Adjusting the white balance

Advanced shooting functions

The color of the subject differs depending on lighting conditions. For instance,

when daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on white paper,

the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By adjusting the

white balance, you can achieve more natural-looking colors.

TIPS

• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors.

Adjust toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their real shades. To prevent

the picture from getting brighter, adjust toward [–] when shooting dark subjects.

Note

• Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that

was intended.

• The effects of exposure compensation may be limited when the surroundings

of the subject are extremely bright or dark.

AUTO Automatically adjusts the white balance for any light source.

PRESET Selects the white balance according to the light source.

conditions, point the camera at a white object under the light source

you want to use and save the white balance.
