WHITE BALANCE
White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of
lighting appear natural. The active white-balance mode is
displayed in the white-balance panel on the monitor.
Auto white balance - to automatically detect the type of light and adjust the
white balance accordingly. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is
set for the color temperature of the flash. Simply set the white-balance dial to
the AWB position.
Turn the white-balance dial to the appropriate position.
Preset white balance - to set the white balance to a specific light source.
Custom white balance - to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting situation.
With the white balance dial in the PWB position, press
the white-balance button to open the setting screen.
The front control dial and the left/right controller keys
select the preset white-balance setting.
The rear control dial and the up/down controller keys
adjust the white balance in seven levels: +3 to –3 (+4 to
–2 for fluorescent). Except for fluorescent, the change of
one unit is approximately equal to a 10 mired shift.
Press the central controller button to complete the
operation. For information on light sources, see page
