NOTE
• Use “Daylight” for shooting in the Night Scene Mode.
You can also use manual white balance if the “Day-
light” setting does not produce the desired results.
Adjusting White Balance Manually
Under some light sources, automatic white balance under
the “Auto” setting can take a long time to complete. Also, the
auto white balance range (color temperature range) is lim-
ited. Manual white balance helps to ensure that colors are
recorded correctly for a particular light source.
Note that manual white balance requires you to point the
camera at a piece of white paper or other similar object so it
completely fills the monitor screen.
