White Balance
You can adjust white balance to match the source of light available where you are
shooting and avoid the blue cast that results when shooting outdoors when it is
cloudy, and the green cast that results when shooting under fluorescent lighting.
1.
Touch the type of white balance you want to select.
You can see the affect of the white balance setting you select on the monitor
screen.
• When “
‡
Auto WB” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera
automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors
and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to
determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment
impossible. If this happens, select the white balance setting that matches your
shooting conditions (Daylight, Overcast, etc.).
• When shooting with Premium Auto Pro, the white balance setting is fixed at
“
‡
Auto WB”.
