White Balance (Adjusting Hue)

A(auto) Md(Shooting menu) MWhite balance

The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural colors, choose a white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, the white balance setting suited to a particular light source can be specified manually to achieve more accurate results.

aAuto (default setting)

White balance is automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations.

cDaylight

dIncandescent
