White balance
The white balance function adjusts the photo or video clip colour balance according to the
lighting conditions.
Normally our eyes compensate for lighting conditions of different colour temperatures. A
digital camera needs to find a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate
all the other colours based on this white point. For example, if a halogen light illuminates a
white wall, the wall will appear yellow, when in fact it should be white. If the camera knows
the wall is supposed to be white, it will compensate for all other colours in the scene
accordingly.
Most digital cameras feature automatic white balance. This means the camera looks at the
overall colour of the image and calculates the best white balance. However, these systems
may not work properly if the scene is dominated by one colour or if there is no natural white.
There are five settings for different lighting conditions:
Auto* – adjusts the colour balance automatically to the lighting conditions
Incandescent – adjusts the colour balance for bright lighting conditions, such as overhead light bulbs, or
when lighting conditions change quickly
Fluorescent – adjusts the colour balance for fluorescent lighting
46

Hearing Aid Compatibility
Your phone is designed for Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) and can be used with hearing
aids.
This product has not been tested using WiFi.
Hearing Aid Settings
You can choose the setting in the phone to match the setting in your hearing aid before
making or receiving calls.
To select a phone setting for HAC
•Tap Menu > Settings > Phone > Accessories > T-coil hearing aid mode and
choose an option:

•Off – Use when your hearing aid is set to Microphone mode.
Hearing Aid Compatibility and New Technologies
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used
in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing
aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
provider about its return and exchange policies and for information on hearing aid
compatibility.
Hearing Aid Compatibility Rating
This model handset was designed to comply with the requirements set forth in Section
20.19 of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) rules governing hearing aid
compatibility (HAC), for the reduction of RF interference and magnetic coupling (T-coil) to
hearing aids. The Microphone (M) rating and T-coil (T) rating is defined and labeled on the
handset box. Devices meeting HAC compliance must have a minimum M3 and/or T3 rating
or above as defined by the FCC in accordance with the latest ANSI Standard C63.19. The
(M) rating refers to lower RF emission levels of the handset. The (T) rating refers to the
magnetic coupling between the handset and the T-coil compatible hearing aid. Some
hearing aids are also provided an (M) rating, and are more immune than others to
interference. To determine the (M) rating of your hearing aid, please contact your hearing
health professional. More information about digital wireless devices and hearing aid
compatibility can be found at www.sonyericsson-snc.com.
