Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu

BWhite 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 are required to mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural coloration, 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, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.

aAuto (default setting)

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

bPreset manual

dIncandescent

eFluorescent
