White Balance - Minolta DiMAGE 7i Instruction Manual

RECORDING MODE

WHITE BALANCE

White Balance is the camera's ability to make different types of lighting appear
neutral. The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color
compensating filters in conventional photography.
When setting the white balance, "Auto" (data panel)
and "AWB" (monitors) will be displayed to indicate
the auto white-balance setting. An icon will be dis-
played on the data panel and monitors if a setting
other than auto white-balance was chosen. See
setting the function dial section on page 44.
