^ Adjusting White Balance
In order to obtain proper color balance, it is neces¬
sary to adjust white balance.
When a white object is available...
1 After setting the standby/operate switch to
NORM, allow the camera to warm up for at least
20 seconds before adjusting white balance. (If
"W BAL" is not displayed in the viewfinder,
press the mode select button until it appears.)
2 Set the white filter switch to OUT.
3 Make sure the backlight compensation switch
is set to OFF.
4 Point the camera at a white piece of paper or
other white object (never at a light source) so
that the object fills the screen.
5 Press the auto white balance (AWB) button
until the blinking "W BAL" changes to "W BAL
OK."
6 As soon as white balance is adjusted, "W BAL
OK" disappears.
When no white object is available...
1 Set the white filter switch to the IN position (the
picture will not be visible in the viewfinder).
2 Turn the zooming lever to the wide-angle
setting.
3 Press the auto white balance button until "W
BAL OK" appears in the viewfinder.
4 "W BAL OK" disappears when white balance is
adjusted.
5 Return the white filter switch to OUT.
Notes:
• For optimum color quality, it is recommended
to adjust white balance using a white object in¬
stead of the built-in white filter.
• Each time the lighting condition changes, read
just white balance. In this case, press the mode
select button until "W BAL" blinks in the view¬
finder, then adjust white balance as described
above.
• White balance is retained even when the
camera is in the standby mode.
• If there is not enough light to adjust white bal¬
ance (if "W BAL OK" does not appear, and "W
BAL" continues to blink), use additional lighting
for best results.
