Selecting a White Balance for Indoor Pictures
If you use your camera indoors where flash is prohibited, your pictures may take
on a green tint if captured under fluorescent tube lighting, or a reddish-orange tint
if captured under tungsten household lighting. You can correct this problem using
the White Balance feature on the camera. Use the Auto setting for everyday
pictures. Use the Daylight, Fluorescent, or Tungsten setting for taking pictures
under these lighting conditions without flash.
