White Balance
At the default setting of
Multi-P AUTO
, the camera au-
tomatically adjusts white balance so that a white sub-
ject will appear white regardless of the color of the light
source. It may however be necessary to match white bal-
ance to the light source under mixed lighting or when
photographing a subject that is a solid color.

continuous mode, this option is equivalent to
Auto
).
Outdoors
Use when shooting in daylight under clear skies.

Use when shooting in daylight under cloudy skies.
Incandescent

Fluorescent
Lamp

Manual
Settings
Measure white balance manually (page 80).
Detail
Make fine adjustments to white balance (page 81).
At settings other than
Auto
, the
current selection is shown by an
icon in the picture display.
Cautions
• Auto white balance may not produce the desired results with
scenes lacking white objects. This can be corrected by adding a
white object to the scene before shooting.
• Options other than
Auto
may not produce the desired results
when the flash is used. Select
Auto
when using the flash.
