Note

• [White Balance] is fixed to [Auto] in the following shooting modes:

– [Intelligent Auto]

• If you use a mercury lamp or a sodium lamp as a light source, the accurate

white balance will not be obtained because of the characteristics of the light.
It is recommended to shoot images using a flash or select [Custom Setup].
