In
Program AE mode
[P],
Auto Exposure (AE) normally sets
the correct exposure for you, but images may be dark if there
is backlight.
Use exposure compensation in these situations
for
brighter images.
How the subject appears depends
on
the kind of lighting, so
colors
in
different lights will be different. This unit adjusts the
color automatically to give a more natural result. (Auto white
balance)
You can also adjust the white balance
to
suit
different
situations
to
reproduce natural colors. You can finely
adjust the white balance independently
for
each white
balance item.
