Camera Settings RAW ONLY

The Camera Settings section provides you control over options set within the camera at the time the image was captured. Within this section, you can modify White Balance, Picture Control settings, Non- Picture Control settings, and Active D-Lighting settings.

White Balance

The White Balance feature is designed to enable you to change the white balance that was set within your image. Changing the white balance enables you to not only correct the white balance setting that was originally chosen, but also to alter the white balance in order to introduce a cold or warm cast into the image.

Within the White Balance dialog, you can either select a color temperature for the white balance, or you can set a gray point from within the image.

❏Set Color Temperature

In this mode, you can allow Capture NX to automatically calculate the white balance, or you can set the white balance manually by using one of the available presets.
