Selecting white balance
With its automatic white
balance, the camera
automatically adjusts to the
color temperature of
available light sources.
To optimize your results and
make allowance for special
lighting conditions, you may
set the camera to special
light sources by pressing the
MENU button on the
camera back and selecting
White Balance.
In addition to the default
Auto setting, the presets
Daylight, Light Bulb and
Fluorescent may be selected
with the four-way control.
When the camera is
switched off, it will auto-
matically reset to automatic
white balance.
Similar to a video camera, a
digital still camera also has
to adjust to the color
temperature of the pre-
vailing light to render color
as naturally as possible.
Automatic white balance
will be entirely sufficient for
a large number of subjects.
Only in extreme lighting
situations – which you can
recognize from a pro-
nounced color cast in your
pictures – should you make
test shots using the presets
for tungsten or fluorescent
light.
Try your hand and expe-
riment!
Selectively used, these
modes can result in very
attractive special effects, for
example at parties, that
clearly distinguish them from
„ordinary“ photos by their
special color mood.
