58 Advanced recording
Preset white-balance settings must be set before the
image is taken. Once set, the effect is immediately visi-
ble on the LCD monitor.
Immediately after selecting the preset white-balance
option on the menu, a selection screen is displayed.
Press the left/right keys of the controller to select the
preset white balance. Press the central button of the
controller to apply it. The following preset options are
available:
Automatic White Balance
Preset White Balance
The automatic white balance compensates for the color temperature of a scene. In most cases, the
auto setting will balance the ambient light and create beautiful images, even under mixed-lighting
conditions. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the
flash.
Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting:
office ceiling lights.
Tungsten - for incandescent lighting:
household light bulbs.
Daylight - for outdoor and sunlit sub-
jects.
Cloudy - for overcast outdoor scenes.
White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. The effect is
similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional
photography. An indicator will be displayed on the monitor if a setting other than auto white-balance
is chosen. White balance is set independently in section 1 of the movie, and P, A, S, and M expo-
sure-mode menus (p. 44).
