sufficiently illuminated place.
- Turn off the digital zoom (
45).
- Reset the white balance when the
lighting conditions change.
- Depending on the light source,
may keep flashing. The result will still
be better than with [
AUTO].
• Custom white balance may provide
better results in the following cases:
- Changing lighting conditions
- Close-ups
- Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or
forest)
- Under mercury lamps and certain
types of fluorescent lights
• Depending on the type of fluorescent
light, optimal color balance may not be
obtained with [
FLUORESCENT] or
[
FLUORESCENT H]. If the color looks
unnatural, adjust it using [
AUTO] or
[
SET].
