White Balance
At the default setting of Multi-P AUTO, the camera au-
tomatically adjusts white balance so that a white sub-
ject will appear white regardless of the color of the light
source. It may however be necessary to match white bal-
ance to the light source under mixed lighting or when
photographing a subject that is a solid color.

Measure white balance manually (page 80).
Detail Make fine adjustments to white balance (page 81).
At settings other than Auto, the
current selection is shown by an

Cautions
• Auto white balance may not produce the desired results with
scenes lacking white objects. This can be corrected by adding a
white object to the scene before shooting.
• Options other than Auto may not produce the desired results
when the flash is used. Select Auto when using the flash.
