.... in step 2, substitute colored paper for white. The

white balance is adjusted based on the color, changing the tint. Red paper = deeper green; blue paper = orange; yellow paper = deeper purple.

NOTES:

●In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white

paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually (☞ pg. 29).

●A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, flourescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the color temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result.
