White Balance (Cont.)
Chapter 6
● We recommend using AUTO for normal shooting.
● When setting the white balance by pointing the camera at white paper, the
setting may be incorrect if the light reflected by the paper is too bright or
dark.
● White balance may not be effective under some special light sources.
● After setting the white balance, playback the image and check the color on
the monitor.

mode (the Night-scene mode has its own default setting). For the P and
A/S/M/ modes, the change in one shooting mode is forcibly applied to
other shooting modes.
