White Balance - Gateway DC-M42 User Manual

White balance

When the brightness of the light changes, our eyes adapt the difference so that the white
object remains white. For digital still cameras, they can also see the white object as white by
averaging the light around the subject.
The camera determines the white balance by averaging the various kinds of light that actually
enters the lens. You may set in advance the white balance when taking photographs under
specific lighting conditions (Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Sunset, Tungsten and Fluorescent).
To set white balance you may press
enter the submenu and choose the setting. After the setting is set, press the OK button to
confirm.
