Shoot by Lighting or Scene Type

When using a flash, the setting will switch to [ Default setting]. (However, the shooting information will display the lighting or scene type that was set.)

If you want to set this together with [Ambience-based shots], set the [Light/scene-based shots] that best matches the ambience you have set. In the case of [Sunset] for example, warm colors will become prominent so the ambience you set may not work well.

Lighting or Scene Type Settings

Default setting

Default setting suited for most subjects.

Daylight

For subjects under sunlight. Gives more natural-looking blue skies and greenery and reproduces light-colored flowers better.

Shade

For subjects in the shade. Suitable for skin tones, which may look too bluish, and for light-colored flowers.

Cloudy

For subjects under overcast skies. Makes skin tones and landscapes, which may otherwise look dull on a cloudy day, look warmer. Also effective for light-colored flowers.

Tungsten light

For subjects under tungsten lighting. Reduces the reddish-orange color cast caused by tungsten lighting.

Fluorescent light

For subjects under fluorescent lighting. Suited for all types of fluorescent lighting.

Sunset

Suitable when you want to capture the sunset’s impressive colors.
