The Camera : Advanced Techniques
✤ Digital Cameras capture an image using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) that takes in lighting
information and detects the colour.
✤ The colour balance may vary depending on the lighting conditions; white balance is used to
preserve natural colours under different lighting conditions.
✤ You can set the white balance in (MOVIE), (PROGRAM), A, S, and M modes.
1. Turn your camera on by setting the Power Switch to (CAMERA) mode.
2. Press the Navigation Wheel once.
The AWB indicator appears on the LCD monitor.

5. Press the Navigation Wheel again to apply your selection and exit the setting screen.
