Depending on the type of fluorescent light, optimal color balance may not be
obtained with [FLUORESCENT] or [FLUORESCENT H]. If the color looks

When you have set the custom white balance:

may keep flashing. The result will still be
better than with the [AUTO] setting.
- Reset the white balance when the lighting condition changes.
- Turn off the digital zoom.

Custom white balance may provide better results in the following cases:
- Changing lighting conditions
- Close-ups
- Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest)
