White Balance Adjustment
By correctly setting the white balance, you can get a
picture with natural tones even under unusual light and
color temperature conditions. This camera lets you set the
white balance both automatically and manually.
Automatic adjustment
1
Shoot a white object (such as a white cloth or white
wall)so that it fills the monitor screen.
2
Press the AWB button on the rear panel.
(While the menu is not displayed, the adjustment can be
made by pressing the DATA UP/WHITE button on the
side panel.)
The white balance is then adjusted automatically so that
the object appears white on the screen. The adjustment
is stored in the camera’s memory, and is retained even
when the power is turned off. The next time you shoot
under the same conditions, set the WHT BAL setting to
AUTO to use the same white balance adjustment.
The messages displayed after the AWB button is
pressed are as given on the following page.
Manual adjustment
White balance can be set manually using the WHT BAL
item of the menu.
