AWB will provide a better picture.

Normally, the white balance and black balance do not need to be readjusted even if the power is

turned off and then on again.

However, the white balance must be readjusted when the lighting conditions change.

If black balance and white balance adjustments are started when the display mode is set to “2”

or “3”, messages informing of the adjustment course and results will appear on the viewfinder

screen. Set the display mode to “1” to not display these messages.

¡

See “Display Mode and Setting Change Message” (page 56) for a description of setting the

display mode.
