Fine-Tuning White Balance
At settings other than (Auto) and (White bal preset), white balance
can be “fi ne tuned” to compensate for variations in the color of the light
source or to create pictures with a “warm” or “cold” cast. Except in the
case of (Fluorescent), adjustments can be made in the range +3 to –3 in
increments of one. Higher settings can be used to lend images a bluish tinge
or to compensate for light sources with a yellow or red cast. Lower settings
can be used to make pictures slightly yellow or red or to compensate for light
sources with a blue cast.
When white balance is set to (Fluorescent),
you can choose from three different bulb types
(see table at right).
To fi ne-tune white balance, display the white-bal-
ance menu and highlight an option as described
above, then follow the steps below:
