Can any of you fine folk with Sony DSC-S30 or any of the S50 or S70 family cameras tell me exactly how to manually set the white balance on that camera? It has a "HOLD" setting, which would seem to work with the "AUTO" setting in some fashion, but if anyone knows for sure, I would really appreciate some instruction. Thanks!

i can tell u how it works on my f707 but I don't know what the button configuration looks like on the s30...
I turn the manual wb mode on... then focus on a white subject... then I press and hold the manual wb button until the indicator on the lcd stops flashing...

Nards, i have a sony DSC-S30, the settings i have are Auto, Hold, Indoor and Outdoor. I beleive those are the only options. I don't think there is a manual setting for white balance on this camera, but i could be wrong.

Did you 'hold' the button while taking a picture of a white card? That could work. And if all else fails read the instruction manual ; - )

Ok..got out the manual..all it says under "hold" is: for recording a single-colored subject or background.
From what i'm reading, there is no manual setting.

I have a DSC-S50 and it doesn't have a way of setting the white balance manually. I've consulted the manual, and it's sadly lacking in an explanation... 'HOLD: recording a single-coloured subject or background'. The HOLD function, as far as I can figure, simply overrides the automatic metering and doesn't adjust anything. The advantage to having a digital camera, however, is that it's that much easier to adjust hue by yourself in post-production. But of course, you already knew that I'm sure.
Hope I helped in helping you find out that you're SOL.
