More on Photography

At settings other than (Auto) and (White bal preset), white balance can be “fine tuned” to compensate for variations in the color of the light source or to create pictures with a “warm” or “cold” cast. Except in the case of (Fluorescent), adjustments can be made in the range +3 to –3 in increments of one. Higher settings can be used to lend images a bluish tinge or to compensate for light sources with a yellow or red cast. Lower settings can be used to make pictures slightly yellow or red or to compensate for light sources with a blue cast.

When white balance is set to (Fluorescent), you can choose from three different bulb types (see table at right).

To fine-tune white balance, display the white-bal- ance menu and highlight an option as described above, then follow the steps below:
