White Balance
Different lighting conditions cast different colors. This setting
allows the camera to compensate for this, reproducing colors
more accurately and ensuring that whites appear white in
the final image. You can also adjust the white balance to
produce creative effects. For example, the Sun setting
produces a warmer look to the image.
1. In the Capture Menu (see page 62), select White Balance.
2. 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 of each setting.
3. Press to save the setting.
