WB (light source)

White balance represents the light source that influences on the colour of a photo.

The colour of a photo depends on the type and quality of the light source. If you want the colour of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate lighting condition to calibrate the white balance, or adjust colour temperature manually. You can also adjust colour for the preset light sources so that the colours of the photo match the actual scene under mixed lighting conditions.

In expert mode, tap → →WB (light source), and then select an option.

•Auto: Use automatic settings depending on the lighting conditions.

•Daylight: Use this for sunny days. This option results in photos closest to the natural colours of the scene.

•Cloudy: Use this for cloudy days or in shadows. Photos taken on cloudy days tend to be more bluish than on sunny days. This option offsets that effect.

•Fluorescent_H: Use this under daylight fluorescent or 3-way fluorescent lights.

•Fluorescent_L: Use this under white fluorescent lights.

•Tungsten: Use this under incandescent bulbs or halogen lamps. Incandescent tungsten bulbs tend to have a reddish hue. This option offsets that effect.

•Custom: Use this to set a custom white balance. Aim the lens at a piece of white surface, and then press the Shutter button.

•K: Use this to manually adjust the colour temperature of the light source. Colour temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin that indicates the specific type of light source. As the colour temperature increases, the colour distribution becomes cooler. Alternatively, as the colour temperature decreases, the colour distribution becomes warmer. Drag the slider or tap or to adjust the colour temperature.
