• When you select the custom white balance
[r:--.-L1
SET]:
- Make the white balance adjustment in a place
with sufficient light.
- Set [D.ZOOM] to [lim OFF] (QJ 39).
- Readjust the white balance if the lighting
conditions change.
- Very rarely and depending on the light source,
t'~L1 may keep on flashing instead of staying on.
Even in that case, the white balance would be
properly adjusted and the results should be
better than with [AWB AUTO].
• Custom white balance may provide better
results in the following cases:
- Changing lighting conditions
- Close-ups
- Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest)
- Under mercury lamps and certain types of
fluorescent lights
• Depending on the type of fluorescent light,
optimal color balance may not be obtained with
[~
FLUORESCENT] or
[~
FLUORESCENT
H]. If the color looks unnatural, adjust it using
[A'*ll
AUTO] or
[lO>.-""
SET].
Image Effects
You can use the image effects to change
