The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. 
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with 
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct 
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this 
adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to the color of the 
light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural colors, select a white 
balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.

Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you 
can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve 
more accurate results.

The icon for the current setting other than Auto is displayed on the monitor 
(

A10).

• At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, set the flash mode to W (off) (

• Some features cannot be used in combination with other menu settings. See “Features Not
