Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

To change the

Manual

White Balance

setting:

Point the camera at a white or gray target (such as a piece

of paper), making sure that the entire screen encompasses

the white or gray target.

Press the

Shutter

button (the camera will not take a picture).

The camera then calculates a custom

White Balance

setting

based on the region inside the focus brackets. During the

calculation,

PROCESSING...

is displayed on the screen. When

the calculation is complete, the color tint in

Live View

changes to match the new

Manual

White Balance

setting,

and

WHITE BALANCE SET

is displayed.

If needed, repeat steps 1 and 2 until you get the desired

Manual White Balance

setting.

When you are satisfied with the

Manual

setting you have

made, press the

Menu/OK

button to exit the

Manual White

Balance

screen and return to the

Capture

ISO Speed

NOTE

This setting does not apply when recording video clips.

This setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to light. When

ISO Speed

is set to the default

Auto

setting, the camera selects

the best ISO speed for the scene.
Lower ISO speeds will capture the best quality images with the

least amount of grain (or noise), but result in slower shutter

speeds. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a

flash at

ISO 100

, you may want to use a tripod. In contrast,

higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be

used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or

pictures of fast moving objects. Higher ISO speeds produce

pictures with more grain (or noise) and, thus, can be of

lower quality.
