Correcting Greenish Image Areas from Mercury Lamps

In shots of evening scenes with subjects illuminated by mercury lamps, the subjects or background may appear to have a greenish tinge. This greenish tinge can be corrected automatically when shooting, using Multi-area White Balance.

Configure the setting.

zPress the nbutton, choose [Hg Lamp

Corr.] on the 4 tab, and then choose [On] (p. 38).

XOnce the setting is complete, is displayed.

zTo restore the original setting, repeat this process but choose [Off].

After you are finished shooting under mercury lamps, you should set

[Hg Lamp Corr.] back to [Off]. Otherwise, green hues not caused by mercury lamps may be corrected by mistake.

Try taking some test shots first, to make sure you obtain the desired results.
