Using the Full
Range of Features
Setting the White Balance
1. Open the camera menu and point the arrow at WHITE BAL.
2. a) For the indoor, outdoor or auto settings simply choose the
setting.
• T/U appears in the display when you set the white balance to
indoor/outdoor mode.
b) To set the white balance yourself, point the camera at a white
object (such as a sheet of paper) and zoom in until it fills the
display, then select SET.
• The W display flashes then remains lit.
• Depending on the light source, the flashing may at times continue. The
result will remain better than with the auto setting and you can continue
recording.
3. Press the selector dial in.
4. Close the menu.
The camera’s auto white balance
system compensates for a wide range of
lighting conditions. Although slight
variations are unavoidable, colors will
appear natural in virtually every
situation.
In some cases, you will get better
results by setting the white balance
yourself, or using one of the two preset
modes:
T Indoor Mode
• Under halogen or studio/video
lighting
• Subject is of one dominant color
• Close ups
U Outdoor mode
• In daylight, especially for close-
ups and where the subject is of
one dominant color
