TIPS
When subjects that are not white appear white:
j In the auto WB setting, if there is no near-white color in the image framed in the screen, the white
balance will not be correctly determined. In such a case, try preset WB or one-touch WB settings.
White balance sensor
This camera has a white balance sensor for determining the
light source in the shooting environment. The white balance
sensor measures and calculates the infrared and visible
light, and determines whether the light source is sunlight,
fluorescent lighting, floodlighting, a blue flat lamp, or other
lighting. When shooting, be careful not to cover or shade the
sensor.
