Adjusting Color Tones; White Balance - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T3 Operating Instructions Manual

Adjusting color tones

— White Balance

You can set the white balance mode
according to your shooting conditions. The
apparent color of the subject is affected by
the lighting conditions. When you want to
fix the light source imaging conditions, or
when the color of the entire image seems
to be a bit unnatural, we recommend that
you adjust the white balance setting.
