Selecting a White Balance for Indoor Pictures

If you are using your camera indoors where flash is prohibited, your
pictures may take on a green tint if captured under fluorescent tube
lighting, or a reddish-orange tint if captured under tungsten household
lighting. You can correct this problem using the White Balance feature on
the camera. Use the Auto setting for everyday pictures. Use the Daylight,
Fluorescent, or Tungsten setting for taking pictures under these lighting
conditions without flash.
