the surrounding lighting (WB) 5 3 1 >
Different types of light (such as full daylight, sunset/sunrise, and artificial lighting) produce
different shades of white when reflected on white paper. A person's eyes recognize white objects
as being white regardless of the type of light, but with a digital camera the color needs to be
adjusted to suit the lighting so that white objects appear white in the picture. This adjustment
function is called "white balance."
Choose from one of the following white balance settings according to the type of light.
AUTO:
5 (sunlight):
3 (cloudy):
1 (tungsten):
