Adjusting White Balance (White Balance)
Procedure
Enter the REC Mode * MENU * White Balance
The white balance setting lets you make adjustments to match the light source being
used so subject coloring is more natural. You can make adjustments to avoid the blue
cast that can occur when shooting on a cloudy day, the green cast that can occur
while shooting under white fluorescent lighting, etc.

• When "
Auto WB" is selected for the white balance setting, the camera
automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors
and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to
determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment
impossible. If this happens, select the white balance setting that matches your
shooting conditions (Daylight, Overcast, etc.).
