The Camera : Advanced Techniques Setting the White Balance Setting the Preset White Balance ✤ Digital Cameras capture an image using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) that takes in lighting information and detects the colour. ✤ The colour balance may vary depending on the lighting conditions; white balance is used to preserve natural colours under different lighting conditions. ✤ You can set the white balance in (MOVIE), (PROGRAM), A, S, and M modes. 1. Turn your camera on by setting the Power Switch to (CAMERA) mode. 2. Press the Navigation Wheel once. The AWB indicator appears on the LCD monitor. 3. Press the UP or DOWN button to select White Balance (AWB). The White Balance control bar appears while the current setting is highlighted in Blue. Manual HLHL HL Glow Halogen Lamp HL H LH L Fluorescent Cloudy Sunny AWB AUTO ENGLISH 4. Press the LEFT or RIGHT button to select the desired White Balance setting. The selected option is highlighted in Blue. 5. Press the Navigation Wheel again to apply your selection and exit the setting screen. The selected option's indicator appears on the LCD monitor. Reference ✤ Setting the White Balance may produce different colour balances. ✤ AWB (Auto White Balance) mode helps to have natural colours under most cases. ✤ White Balance setting is memorized in current (CAMERA) mode. ✤ Using EASYQ mode cancels the White Balance setting. To recover your White Balance setting, exit the EASYQ mode. 121
