Selecting a White Balance for Indoor Pictures

If you use your camera indoors where flash is prohibited, your pictures may take on a green tint if captured under fluorescent tube lighting, or a reddish-orange tint if captured under tungsten household lighting. You can correct this problem using the White Balance feature on the camera. Use the Auto setting for everyday pictures. Use the Daylight, Fluorescent, or Tungsten setting for taking pictures under these lighting conditions without flash.

Set the Mode dial to Capture. Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera. Press the Menu button. The main Menu screen appears on the LCD. Press a button until the icon is highlighted. Press the DO-IT button. The White Balance screen appears on the LCD. The current setting is checked (). Press a button until the White Balance option you want is highlighted. Auto (No Icon)--automatically adjusts the white balance.

Daylight--balances for natural daylight lighting. Fluorescent--corrects for the green cast of fluorescent lighting. Tungsten--corrects for the orange cast of tungsten light bulbs. Press the DO-IT button. The main Menu screen reappears as the White Balance icon you selected appears in the Status Display. Your camera automatically resets to Auto when the camera is turned off. To change the defaults, see Setting a White Balance Default.
