OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
NOTE
• When “Auto” is selected for the white balance
setting, the camera automatically determines the
white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and
light source conditions can cause problems when the
camera tries to determine the white point, which
makes proper white balance adjustment impossible.
When this happens, use daylight, cloudy, or one of
the other fixed white balance settings to specify the
type of lighting available.
• You can use key customization (page 140) to
configure the camera so the white balance setting
changes whenever you press [̇] or [̈] while in a
REC mode.
Configuring the White Balance Setting
Manually
Certain complex light sources or other environmental
conditions can make it impossible to obtain good results
when “Auto” or one of the fixed light source settings is
selected for white balance. Manual white balance lets you
configure the camera for a particular light source and other
conditions.
Note that you must perform manual white balance under
the same conditions you will be shooting under. Have a
sheet of white paper on hand before starting the following
procedure.
1.
In a REC mode, press [MENU].
2.
Select the “REC” tab, select “White Balance”,
and then press [̈].
3.
Use [̆] and [̄] to
select “Manual”.
• This causes the object
you last used to adjust
manual white balance to
appear on the monitor
screen.
