Adjust the white balance. Select the current lighting conditions. This allows the

camera to reproduce colours more accurately.

Adjust the exposure compensation (images only). If you are shooting a dark

+2 to compensate for the background brightness. For light subjects against a dark

background, use -1 or -2.

Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the light sensitivity in low light

conditions to avoid too dark images and blurry images. Increasing the light

sensitivity may also increase the image noise.

darkest parts of the image.

colour settings.
