White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source.
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to the color of the
light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural colors, select a white
balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.
Although the default setting, Auto (normal), can be used under most types of
lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source
to achieve more accurate results.
* Fine adjustments in seven steps are available. Apply positive (+) to increase blue hue and
negative (–) to increase red hue.
The icon for the current setting other than Auto (normal) is displayed on the
monitor (A8).
B Notes on White Balance
At white-balance settings other than Auto (normal), Auto (warm lighting) or Flash, set the
flash mode to
W (off) (A66).
This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See “Features That Cannot Be
Used Simultaneously” (A80) for more information.
