E38 Shooting Menu (A, B, Cor D Mode) White Balance (Adjusting Hue) Rotate the mode dial to A, B, Cor DM d button MA, B, Cor D tab (A11) MWhite balance 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. Option Description a1 Auto (normal) (default setting) White balance is automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations. When set to Auto (warm lighting), the images are preserved with warm colors if they are shot under an incandescent light source. When using the flash, according to the brightness of the flash, the images are adjusted to suitable white balance. a2 Auto (warm lighting) bPreset manual Useful when shooting under unusual lighting. See “Using Preset Manual” for more information (E40). cDaylight * White balance adjusted for direct sunlight. dIncandescent * Use under incandescent lighting. e Fluorescent (FL1 to FL3) Use under most types of fluorescent lighting. Choose one of FL1 (white fluorescent), FL2 (daylight white/neutral fluorescent) and FL3 (daylight fluorescent). fCloudy * Use when taking pictures under overcast skies. gFlash * Use with the flash. * 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 (A6). 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) (A60). • This feature may not be used in combination with certain features.
