Subjects Not Suitable for
Auto White Balance
Auto white balance may not work well in the following instances,
and white balance lock will probably give you better results:
• Subject with one dominant colour, such as sky, sea and forest.
• Subject for a macro recording, such as a close-up of a flower.
Use white balance lock to allow for such conditions.
White balance lock also works without using a white object. Set the zooming lever
to wide angle end (9 mm) and press AWB/LOCK button to adjust for the scene.
However this is not suitable for scenes with one dominant colour or for macro
recording.
For best results when shooting sunsets and other scenes with red colouring, adjust
the camera by pointing at a blue object and pressing AWB/LOCK button.
• White balance lock clears automatically when playback is activated or the
camera is turned off.
• Reset white balance again if the light source changes during white balance
lock.
• Use white balance lock even under normal lighting conditions to achieve a
more precise colour balance.
