Samsung EXS30NB, Digital Camera manual Colour, DON’T Forget Creative White Balance

THE POCKET GUIDE TO THE SAMSUNG NX THE NX SYSTEM

COLOUR

To ensure accurate colour, you need to set the right white balance for the lighting conditions... or use auto

	The everyday light sources we encounter
	emit a colour cast to their light. For example,
	fluorescent lights turn the scene green and
	household lightbulbs turn everything orange.
	Our brains are very clever at removing this
	colour cast to make the light look as neutral
	as possible. Digital cameras are equally clever;
	in the Auto white balance (AWB) mode the
	camera recognises the prevailing lighting
	conditions and corrects things accordingly.
	Sometimes, though, it’s nice to take a little
	more control and explore your camera’s
	abilities. The NX series has nine settings for
	white balance, including full auto, and you can
22	see the effect each has by scrolling through
	on the rear display.

If you want to quickly

change the ISO setting, 23 repeatedly press the ‘iFn’ on the lens and scroll through

to the ISO option, using the focus ring to make changes.

If you shoot in the Raw image quality setting, you can change the white balance on your computer to a new one, or correct a mistake.
