• The Self-timer Lamp flashes with the passage of each
second.
• You can cancel a self-timer operation by pressing the
shutter button at any time while the Self-timer Lamp is
flashing.
Performing Manual White Balance
Certain lighting conditions can cause auto white balance to
take a very long time or can result in a limitation of the ad-
justable range (color temperature). If you suspect your cur-
rent lighting conditions are causing problems, try performing
manual white balance. This sets white balance to a level that
can be used under any lighting conditions.
The following procedure describes how to perform manual
white balance using a white piece of paper. For optimum re-
sults, you should use a special reflective plate that should be
commercially available from a local camera equipment
shop.
1.
Align the POWER/Function Switch with REC.
2.
Press MENU. If the basic menu appears, press
DISP to switch to the advanced menu.
3.
Select “Functions 1”
“White Balance”
“Manual”.
• “Functions 1” appears on the advanced menu only.

Select the approximate sensitivity level.
+3.0 / +2.0 / +1.0 / Normal
• Higher sensitivity can increase the chance of noise
in the image.
• Higher sensitivity can make it difficult to obtain
proper focus using Auto Focus. It does not change
the minimum brightness required for Auto Focus.
• In the Night Scene Mode, setting sensitivity to +3.0
results in actual sensitivity of about +2.0.
• Use of the flash automatically employs the "Nor-
mal" sensitivity setting.
• This setting automatically changes to “Normal” in
the Aperture Priority (A) Mode.
