White balance and black balance
Adjusting the white balance
The white balance must always be re-adjusted
when the lighting conditions have changed.
The white balance adjustment values can be
stored in the memory at the A and B positions of
the WHITE BAL switch.
Use A or B, whichever better suits the shooting
conditions concerned.
The 3200K and 5600K white balance values
have been stored in the memory at the PRST
position of the WHITE BAL switch.
When the AWB button is pressed while the
WHITE BAL switch is at the PRST position, the
current white balance value is displayed.
When the AWB button is pressed again, the
3200K and 5600K white balance values are
selected alternately.
Use 3200K or 5600K, whichever better suits the
shooting conditions concerned when, for
instance, there is no time to adjust the white
balance.

pattern.
