When shooting with flash under incandescent lighting (a tungsten light
source), reddish, unnatural colors may result on the subject background
where the flash light does not reach. By attaching the provided color
filter to the flash, automatic adjustments are made by the camera’s
white balance function so that both the subject and background can be
shot with appropriate white balance.
1
Attach the color filter.
Attach the filter securely to the flash
head until it clicks in place, as shown.
Check that the display changes to
<
o >.
To remove the filter, follow the
procedure in reverse order. Raise the
attachment pins on the lower side of
the filter and remove the filter from
the flash head.
2
Take the picture.
Set the camera’s white balance to
<
Q >, and take the picture.
With EOS DIGITAL cameras released
in and after 2012, you can also set
the white balance to <
A > for
shooting (except with EOS REBEL
T5/1200D).
Check the resulting image and
perform white balance compensation
on the camera as required.
