This section describes the functions available for controlling exposure in your camera.
White Balance
When you select a white balance option, you identify the type of lighting used to capture
images. For example, if you capture an image in daylight, set the white balance to daylight
for the best results.
Use either preset or custom methods for specifying white balance. The preset options
include Auto, Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, and Flash. With the custom option, you
can save White Balance settings, reuse them, and delete them when they are no longer
needed.
IMPORTANT:
White balance affects how your color image is captured. Using the incorrect setting
may cause inferior results.
Be careful not to cover the white balance sensor window on the front of the camera as
this will affect auto white balance settings.
