Using CSM Shooting Menu Options
In CSM shooting mode, adjustments to some shooting options are
made from the camera menus (no menu is available in AUTO, SCENE
and movie mode). The CSM shooting menu can be used to adjust
camera settings for specific subjects or situations—for example, when
photographing very bright subjects, or when taking pictures under
fluorescent lighting.
To view the CSM shooting menu:
See p. 30 for more information on “Using Camera Menus”.

Keeping Colors True: The White-Balance Menu
What is “White Balance”?
The color of the light reflected by an object depends on the color of
the light source. The human brain is able to detect and compensate for
such changes in color, with the result that a white object will look white
to humans whether viewed in sunlight, under overcast skies, or indoors
under incandescent or fluorescent lighting. To a camera, however, the
“whites” produced by these different sources of light vary in color,
some being slightly blue and others yellow or red. A digital camera can
adjust colors according to lighting so that colors that appear white to
the human eye also appear white when viewed in the final picture. This
adjustment is called “white balance.”
Choosing a White Balance Setting
In CSM shooting mode, white balance can be
chosen from the white-balance menu (in other
modes, white balance is adjusted automatically
according to the type of scene). The following
options are available:
