“EV & WHITE BALANCE” ( , )
This screen can be alter by both EV compensation and White Balance.
The altered result reflects the taken images in real time, thereby enabling changing of the setting while confirming the

EV Compensation
When the object is too dark or too bright, the camera adjusts the brightness to make the object look brighter or darker.
This is called EV compensation. The range of the exposure compensation that the user can set is from -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV
at 0.5 EV steps.

White Balance
As the intensity of the light changes, our eyes adapt such that white objects will remain white. Digital cameras can also
see the white objects as being white by averaging out the light around the object.

You may select from the following settings:

“AUTO” : Automatically adjusts the WHITE BALANCE

“TUNGSTEN” : Tungsten lighting

“FLUORESCENT” : Fluorescent lighting

“SHADE” : Overcast, shaded, twilight or evening skies
