WHITE BALANCE
The white balance function adjusts the camera for different kinds of lighting.
It makes white look the same color in any situation. The camera has two
white balance modes; automatic and manual. In manual mode you can
change the color settings according to your own needs.
FYI
White Balance and Color Temperatures.
Light comes in a range of colors from high-temperature sources like the sun which
are bluer to low-temperature incandescent light bulbs which are redder. The human
eye adapts to these differences automatically, so things usually look the same color
to us under most lighting conditions. The camera's light sensors however, must
sometimes be set to reproduce the truest colors under certain conditions.
AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE
In this mode the camera automatically senses the light source and corrects
the colors so you get the same white in any lighting situation. We
recommend that you regularly use the camera in this mode.
1. Press the MENU button and use the l r buttons to select WHITE
BALANCE.
2. Select AUTO by using the ud buttons.
SELECTING WHITE BALANCE MANUALLY
You can select specialized white balance settings to achieve truer colors in
certain conditions; DAYLIGHT, CLOUDY, INCANDESCENT, and
FLUORESCENT.
1. Press the MENU button and use the l r buttons to select WHITE
BALANCE.
2. Using the ud buttons select the best choice among auto, daylight,
cloudy, incandescent and fluorescent.
HINT
Effective use of manual WHITE BALANCE.
❏
Pictures taken under fluorescent light tend to turn out greenish. Use the
FLUORESCENT setting to correct for this.
❏
Incandescent light tends to make subjects appear reddish-yellow. Using the
DAYLIGHT setting will allow reddish yellow colors of sunset to stay that way.
LIGHT SENSITIVITY
A roll of film loaded in a camera has a fixed light sensitivity, but the digital
camera is more flexible. You can change the light sensitivity for a specific
purpose any time manually or let the camera select it automatically.
FYI
In general, setting higher (ISO) light sensitivity allows for easier focusing and less
chance of blurring. However your photos will appear grainier and you will lose color
richness. Think about the shooting conditions and the results you want before you
set the ISO.
