C WHITE BALANCE
For natural colors, choose a setting that matches
the light source (for an explanation of "white
balance," see the Glossary on page 107).
Option
4 White balance adjusted automatically.
Q
Measure a value for white balance.
p
For subjects in direct sunlight.
q
For subjects in the shade.
s
Use under "daylight" fluorescent lights.
t
Use under "warm white" fluorescent lights.
u
Use under "cool white" fluorescent lights.
r
Use under incandescent lighting.
If 4 does not produce the desired result (for
example, when taking a close-up), choose the
option that matches the light source, or use
custom white balance (pg.70). Once custom
white balance is set, the setting remains (unless
changed), regardless of if the battery is removed
from the camera.
