White balance
If you press OK when the White
Balance option is highlighted in the
Capture menu, the White Balance
sub-menu displays. In some cases, it
may be necessary to pre-set the light
source so the camera can reproduce
colors more accurately and ensure
that whites appear white in the
captured image. The setting in this sub-menu determines how
the camera will adjust the colors in the image to match the
scene illuminant.
The default
White Balance setting is Auto . The White Balance
setting resets to Auto when you turn the camera off. Set the
White Balance according to the situations explained in the
following table.
