Changing the White Balance

The white balance mode adjusts the white balance so that you can capture
your subject in its natural colors regardless of the light source. The auto mode
will suffice in most situations.

The auto mode automatically adjusts the white balance based on the white
areas, ensuring that white is reproduced as white regardless of the light source.
Consequently, a subject that lacks in white tones as a whole or that is
dominated by dark tones may not achieve an appropriate white balance.
Change the white balance mode to shoot such subjects.

• No display (Auto)

: The camera automatically adjusts the white balance.

(Daylight)

: This mode is used to shoot subjects outdoors where

an appropriate white balance is difficult to achieve.

(Overcast)

: This mode is used to shoot subjects outdoors under

cloudy skies or in shade where the appropriate white
balance is difficult to achieve.

(Tungsten Light)

: This mode is used to shoot subjects under tungsten

light where an appropriate white balance is difficult to

achieve.

(Fluorescent Light) : This mode is used to shoot subjects under fluorescent

light where an appropriate white balance is difficult to
achieve.

* The factory default setting is auto mode.
