 Adjusting color (White Balance)
White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by th\
e camera 
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be 
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired results 
or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.

balance item using FG.

 One-touch white balance
Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object \
under the lighting 
that will be used in the final photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural 
light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.
1 Choose [P] or [ Q].
2 Point the camera at a colorless sheet of paper (such as white or gray)\
, and 
then press the 
INFO button.
•  Frame the object so that it fills the display and no shadows fall it.
•  The one-touch white balance screen appears.

3 Select [Yes] and press Q.
•  The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.
•  The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is recorded again.\
 Turning the power off does not erase the data.
% Tips
•  If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message \
[WB NG Retry] will be 
displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat \
the process from 
Step 1.
 Setting the image aspect (Image Aspect)
You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when tak\
ing pictures. 
Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3] (st\
andard), [16:9], 
[3:2] or [1:1].
1 Display the live control and select the aspect ratio item using  FG.
2 Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.
# Cautions
•  JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not 
cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ra\
tio.
•  When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.\
 Image quality (Record Mode)
Select an image quality for photographs and movies according their inten\
ded use, for 
example retouching on a computer or display on the web.
