AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE

PRESET WHITE BALANCE

The automatic white balance compensates for the color temperature of a scene. In most cases, the
AUTO setting will balance the ambient light and create beautiful images, even under mixed-lighting
conditions. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the
flash.

WHITE BALANCE

Fluorescent

Tungsten

Daylight

Cloudy

For fluorescent lighting: office ceiling lights.

For incandescent lighting: household filament light bulbs.

For outdoor and sunlit subjects.

For overcast outdoor scenes.

Preset white-balance settings must be set before the image is taken. Once set, the effect is
immediately visible on the LCD monitor. 

The built-in flash can be used with preset white-balance settings, but will create a pinkish or blueish
cast with the fluorescent and tungsten settings. The flash is daylight balanced and will produce
acceptable excellent results with the daylight and cloudy settings. 

White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral.
The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating
filters in conventional photography. 

An icon will be displayed on the monitor if a setting other than auto white-balance is
chosen. White balance is set in the Basic section of the multi-function recording mode
menu (p. 50).
