Adjusting the white balance
In order to reproduce the white accurately, adjust
the ratio between the three RGB primary colors. If
the white balance is not adjusted properly, not only
will the white be reproduced poorly but the color
tones of the entire screen will also be downgraded.
When you are shooting in manual mode, readjust
the white balance whenever lighting conditions
change.
You can save adjustments and reselect them by
setting the WHITE BAL switch to A or B.
You can also use the preset values.
Use the settings to suit the shooting conditions.
