Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
White Balance
Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For
example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is
more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may
require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the
camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that
whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust
the white balance to produce creative effects. For example,
using the Sun setting can produce a warmer look to the
image.
1. In the Capture Menu (page 37), select White Balance.
2. In the White Balance sub-menu,
use the buttons to highlight
a setting. The new setting is
applied to the Live View screen
behind the menu, so you can
see the effect each setting will
have on the picture.
3. Press the button to save the setting and return to the
Capture Menu.
The following table explains the settings in more detail:
