Manual WB
The surrounding light may affect the color balance of your picture. For example,
if a halogen light illuminates a white wall, the wall will have a yellow cast, while
in fact it should be white. Underwater pictures tend to be more blue, because
the water filters out red colors. The camera’s white balance menu includes
settings that compensate for different lighting conditions found on land or
underwater. You can also manually set the camera’s white balance if the options
found in the white balance menu are not suitable. A digital camera needs to
find a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate all the other
colors based on this white point.
To manually set the camera’s white balance, select the “Manual WB” located
in the Capture menu. Hold the white slate provided about 4in/10 cm in front
of the camera lens, so it fills up the picture frame displayed on the LCD. Hold
the white slate at a slight angle in the direction of the light source or sun.
* Press the SET button to execute the Manual WB. Do not use Manual WB
with flash photography. Reset Manual WB when changing depths or light
conditions.
ISO
This sets the sensitivity for capturing images. When the sensitivity is raised (and
the ISO figure is increased), photography will become possible even in dark
locations, but the more pixelated (grainier) the image will appear.
