• Use “Daylight” for shooting in the Night Scene Mode.
You can also use manual white balance if the “Day-
light” setting does not produce the desired results.
Adjusting White Balance Manually
Under some light sources, automatic white balance under
the “Auto” setting can take a long time to complete. Also, the
auto white balance range (color temperature range) is lim-
ited. Manual white balance helps to ensure that colors are
recorded correctly for a particular light source.
Note that you must perform manual white balance under the
same conditions you will be shooting under. You must also
have a white piece of paper or other similar object on hand in
order to perform manual white balance.
