On the Nikon Coolpix L23, is white balance adjustable when shooting in Scene modes such as Portrait or Landscape, or are those settings locked by the camera?

I know with the D90, you cannot adjust white balance, change the metering mode, or use exposure compensation while using scene modes. You must use P, M, A or S modes to access these. I can only assume the Coolpix would be similar. Those scene modes are programmed for the camera to make all the decisions for you.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
In Scene modes, white balance is typically not user-adjustable. These modes are designed so the camera makes most of the exposure and color decisions for you. Based on the community response, Nikon cameras generally lock out settings like white balance, metering, and exposure compensation in Scene modes.
If the Coolpix L23 follows that same behavior, you would likely need to use a more manual shooting mode—if available on that camera—to change white balance yourself.
