White Balance - Leica X Vario Instructions Manual

WHITE BALANCE

In digital photography, white balance ensures neutral, i.e. natural,
reproduction of color in any light. It is based on the camera being
preset to reproduce a particular color as white. You can choose
between several presets, automatic white balance, two fixed manual
settings and direct setting of the color temperature.
In addition, you have the option of adapting all settings precisely to
the relevant photographic conditions and/or your own preferences.

1. Press the button (17)

2. Select the required setting by pressing up / down on the
direction pad (25) or using the thumb wheel (23)
