| Solution | The White Balance feature on this camera is set to "Auto White Balance" at the time of purchase. Normally, the <AWB> (Auto) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural looking colors cannot be obtained with <AWB>, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object. NOTE Icons used on this page: [  ] Playback tab 3 / <  >: Custom White Balance
NOTE
REFERENCE About White Balance To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature is adjusted with software to make the white areas look white. This adjustment serves as the basis for the color correction. With this function, pictures with natural color shades can be taken.
To set the White Balance, follow the steps below. 1. Set the cameras power switch to <ON>. 2. Press the <MENU> button.  3. Under the [ ] tab, select [White balance], then press <  >.  4. Select the desired setting, then press < >.  | Display | Mode | Color Temperature (Approx. K: Kelvin) |
|---|
 | Auto | 3000-7000 |  | Daylight | 5200 |  | Shade | 7000 |  | Cloudy, twilight, sunset | 6000 |  | Tungsten light | 3200 |  | White fluorescent light | 4000 |  | Flash use | Automatically set* |  | Custom | 2000-10000 |  | Color temperature | 2500-10000 |
* Applicable with Speedlites having a color temperature transmission function.
Otherwise, it will be fixed to approx. 6000K. NOTE < >(Custom White Balance) enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source for better accuracy. Perform this procedure under the actual light source to be used. For more information on registering custom white balance, please refer to the instruction manual that came with your camera.
This completes the steps for setting the white balance.
