MEMO
• In AUTO mode, the correct white balance may not be
achieved for subjects such as close-ups of people’s
faces and pictures taken under a special light source.
Select the correct white balance for the light source.
• When the flash fires, the white balance setting for the
flash is used. Consequently, to achieve a particular
effect, the flash mode should be set to C Suppressed
flash (➝p.52).
• The color tones may vary depending on the shooting
conditions (light source, etc.).
• We recommend playing back images after shooting to
check the color tones (white balance).
