t Using colored gel filters with digital cameras
Purpose
Balances the color of light from the flash to
match that of fluorescent light
Balances the color of light from the flash to
match that of incandescent or tungsten light
Creates interesting effects by changing the
light from the flash to a different color
t Balancing light from the flash
•With digital cameras, if you shoot flash pictures under fluorescent light with the camera’s
white balance set to “Flash,” the main subject illuminated by the flash will look normal.
However, the background will come out green. To compensate, use the FL-G1 (green
gel filter) to convert the light coming from the flash to the same color as fluorescent light,
then adjust the camera’s white balance to “Fluorescent.” Follow a similar procedure
when shooting flash pictures under incandescent/tungsten illumination using the
applicable filter. In this case, set the white balance to “Incandescent.”
•Available with digital cameras featuring white balance. You cannot set the white balance
on the SB-600. Choose an appropriate white balance setting on your digital camera.
For more details, see your camera’s instruction manual.
