White balance

The beautiful print quality your images deserve

White balance bracketing

White balance bracketing automatically creates three

images from a single exposure: one at the currently

selected white balance setting, one with a slight blue

shift, and one with a slight red shift. The amount of

color shift can be set in two levels via the drive mode

selection menu.

Another way to use white balance

Although the primary purpose of white balance settings is to assure faithful color reproduction under various lighting conditions, you can also use

them to deliberately alter the mood and tone of your photos. For example, you can use the preset Tungsten setting to give a daytime scene a

“cooler” color tone, or the preset Daylight setting to give a night scene a “warmer” color tone.

In auto white balance mode, the camera evaluates

current lighting conditions and automatically sets the

white balance to assure natural color balance.

Six preset white balance settings are provided. To

display the selection menu, set the white balance dial

to the preset position and press the button in the

center of the dial. Then use the controller to select the

preset you want to use.

The custom setting allows white balance to be calibrated to match current lighting conditions. To

calibrate the setting, set the white balance dial to the custom position and press the button in the

center of the dial. The screen will then prompt you to aim the camera at a white object such as a

sheet of paper, and to press the shutter button. To register the new custom setting, press the

button in the center of the controller.

If you know the color temperature of the light source you are using, you can also set the white

balance by entering the color temperature value. To enter a value, set the white balance dial to

the color temperature (K) position and press the button in the center of the dial. Then use the

controller to increase or decrease the temperature (2500~9900

K) to match your light source.

If necessary, magenta/green compensation can also be applied.
