Using the shooting function

Adjusting the color tones (White balance)

The color tone of the subject changes depending on the characteristics of

the light source. The table below shows how the color tone changes based

on various light sources, compared with a subject that appears white under

the sunlight.

White balance is a feature that adjusts the color tone to approximate what

you see. Use this feature when the color tone of the image did not come out

as you expected, or when you want to change the color tone on purpose for

photographic expression.

Note

• If the only light source available is a mercury lamp or a sodium lamp, the camera

will not be able to acquire the accurate white balance because of the characteristics

of the light source. Use the flash in such cases.

• When [AWB] is not selected, you can finely adjust the color tone with b/

B on the controller. Adjusting it toward + turns the image reddish and
