Manual WB- This manually sets the white balance and stores it. Use of this is
convenient when the white balance does not offer a good match.
Before select [Execute] determine the subject (such as a white paper or slate)
that will be used to set the white balance.
* Cancel / Execute
ISO- This sets the sensitivity for capturing images. When the sensitivity is raised
(and the ISO figure is increased), photography will become possible even in
dark locations, but the more pixilated (grainer) the image will appear.
* 64 / 100 / 200 / Auto
Metering- This sets the metering method for calculating the exposure.
* [Blank] Average:
Averages the light metered from the entire frame,
but gives greater weight to the subject matter at
the center.
* [
] Spot: A very small portion of the center of the screen
is measured, and the exposure is calculated.
In Sea mode the following balance options are displayed:
* Auto
* < 25 feet
* > 25 feet
Select the appropriate underwater depth for best white balance.
For underwater images or video set the white balance on a white
slate or try aiming the camera horizontally at open blue water.
This option may produce optimal color correction results when
the camera is set to Sea mode. Do not make manual white
balance adjustments when in Ext. Flash mode or the colors will
not be correct.
