OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Performing Manual White Balance

Certain lighting conditions can cause Auto white balance to

take a very long time or can result in a limitation of the ad-

justable range (color temperature). If you suspect your cur-

rent lighting conditions are causing problems, try performing

manual white balance. This sets white balance to a level that

can be used under any lighting conditions.

The following procedure describes how to perform manual

white balance using a white piece of paper. For optimum re-

sults, you should use a special reflective plate that should be

commercially available from a local camera equipment

shop.

Slide the Function Switch to REC.

Press MENU.

Select “Record Options 1” “White Balance”

“Manual”.

Keeping the camera pointed at the white sheet

of paper, press DISP to make the manual white

balance settings.

• Pressing the shutter button at this time returns the

camera to the white balance setting that was obtained

the last time you performed this manual white balance

procedure.

The manual white balance procedure stops au-

tomatically when it is done.

• If the manual white balance procedure does not end

automatically, press the shutter button to interrupt it.

After the camera finishes making the white bal-

ance setting, it returns to the screen in step 3

above. Select “Exit” to exit the manual white

balance procedure.

Customizing Record Mode Power On Set-

tings

A power on setting is one that is set by the camera automati-

cally whenever you turn it on. Normally, the camera uses its

own built-in power on default settings. With the procedure

described here, however, you can tell the camera to save the

camera’s current Recording Mode, Flash, Focus, Metering

and White Balance settings in mode memory when it is

turned off, and to restore the setting when power is turned on

again. Settings stored in mode memory override the

camera’s preset defaults.

The following table shows the items whose settings you can

save in mode memory. Note that the procedure described

here only lets you select ON (save current setting in mode

memory) or OFF (use the camera’s preset default setting).

The procedures for changing current settings can be found

on the pages noted in the table.

default setting.
