Taking Pictures

to select the white balance.
When J (Fluorescent Light) is selected,
press the four-way controller (3) and use
the four-way controller (45) to select D, N,
W, or L.
3 Press the 4 button.
The [A Rec. Mode 1] menu is resumed.
4 Press the 3 button.
The camera is ready to take a picture.
You can adjust the white balance depending on the light source when
taking pictures. With the manual white balance, the camera can store
delicate shades that cannot be precisely adjusted with the white balance
preset values provided in the camera. This provides the optimum white
balance for your surroundings.
1 Select K in Step 2 on p.102.
• Because the light source changes when a flash discharges, you can
set the white balance for when the flash discharges. Select [Auto
White Balance], [Unchanged] or [Flash] for [3. WB When Using Flash]
(p.67) in the [A Custom 1] menu.
• When [Tungsten Light] is selected, the color tone can be
compensated. Select [Subtle Correction] or [Strong Correction] for [4.
AWB in Tungsten Light] (p.67) in the [A Custom 1] menu.
• The [White Balance] setting can also be changed using the control
panel.
