3.1.10.1.5 White Balance
When the brightness of the light changes, our eyes adapt the difference so that the white
object remains white. For digital still cameras, they can also see the white object as white by
averaging the light around the subject.
The camera determines the white balance by averaging the various kinds of light that actually
enters the lens. You may set in advance the white balance when taking photographs under
specific lighting conditions.
[Auto]: Automatically adjusting the white balance.
[Daylight]: For recording outdoors on a bright day.
[Cloudy]: For recording overcast, shaded, twilight or evening skies.
[Tungsten]: For recording under tungsten lighting condition.
[Fluorescent]: For recording under fluorescent lighting condition.
3.1.10.1.6 ISO
Select the photographic ISO (50/100/200/Auto) to be used when a photograph is taken.
This option 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 pixilated (grainer) the image will appear.
3.1.10.1.7 Color
To capture an image, the camera offers three types of colors (Standard / Vivid / Sepia /
Monochrome) for you to match as you wish. Your images will demonstrate different
impressions by choosing different types of colors.
3.1.10.1.8 Saturation
To capture an image, the camera offers you three different degrees of colors (High / Medium
/ Low) to match your preference. Your images will give different impressions by choosing the
different degrees of colors. This is called Saturation.
