Changing the White Balance Mode
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.
Switching White Balance Modes
The mode screen will change in the following sequence as you switch the white
balance mode:
* The factory default setting is auto mode.
Note
• In auto mode, subjects lacking in white tones may not achieve an appropriate
white balance. When shooting such subjects, add a white object to the
composition.
• White balance modes can only be set in recording mode and not in playback
mode.
• The flash will not fire in the following white balance modes: daylight,
fluorescent light, tungsten light and cloudy (overcast) mode.
• Enable the keep settings mode to save the white balance mode setting.
See “Keep Settings” (p.106).
