White balance—Adjusting the color tone
Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when
daylight or tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white
produced will be slightly different for each.
With a film camera, you can adjust color balance using different films for different
light conditions or by using filters. With a digital camera, on the other hand, white
color can be adjusted to reproduce more natural white with a digital processor.
This mechanism is called white balance. There are three options for setting the
WB with this camera.
Auto white balance
This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and
adjust the color balance accordingly. Auto WB is sufficient for most light
conditions. If there is no near white color in the picture, the white balance of the
image may not be correct. In such a case, use preset WB or one-touch WB to
achieve the correct white balance.
Preset white balance
You can set the white balance by selecting the appropriate color temperature for
the light source. For example, use preset WB when you want to reproduce more
red in the picture of a sunset, or capture a warmer artistic effect under artificial
lighting. You can enjoy creating different color tones by trying the different preset
WB settings.
The color temperatures available for preset WB are as follows: 3000, 3300, 3600,
3900, 4000, 4300, 4500, 4800, 5300, 6000, 6600, or 7500.
You can also select one of 4 preset color temperatures in the menu and use it as a
preset WB. ~ “CUSTOM WB” (P. 100)
One-touch white balance ~ ”Setting the one-touch white balance” (P. 97)
You can set the optimum white balance for the shooting conditions by pointing the
camera at a white object like a sheet of white paper. The white balance achieved
with this setting is saved as one of the preset WB settings.
