Changing the White Balance
The white balance mode adjusts the white balance so
that you can capture your subject in its natural colors
regardless of the light source. The AUTO mode will
suffice in most situations.
The AUTO mode automatically adjusts the white
balance based on the white areas, ensuring that white
is reproduced as white regardless of the light source.
Consequently, a subject that lacks in white tones as a
whole or that is dominated by dark tones may not
achieve an appropriate white balance. Change the
white balance mode to shoot such subjects.
Note
• Enable the keep settings
mode to save the exposure
compensation level setting.
See “Keep Settings” (p.121).
• You can take 3 frames in
succession at exposure
compensation levels of –0.5
EV, 0, and +0.5 EV based on
the preset compensation
level. See “Auto Bracket
Shooting” (p.83).
