✽ Because the white balance setting is disabled during
flash photography, use “Suppressed Flash” mode
(➡P.40) if you want to achieve a particular effect in
your shot.
This mode can be selected in the “2” still
image mode.
In Auto mode, the correct white balance may not
be obtained for subjects such as close-ups of
people’s faces and shots taken under a special
light source.
Change the white balance setting when you
want to take a picture with the correct balance.
See P.89 for more information on the white
balance.

much brighter or darker than the background.
