Konka Group Z1 - Manual (Page 58)

Preset white-balance settings must be set before
the image is taken. Once set, the effect is
immediately visible on the LCD monitor.
Immediately after selecting the preset white-
balance option on the menu, a selection screen is
displayed.
Press the left/right keys of the controller to select
the preset white balance. Press the central button
of the controller to apply it. The following preset
options are available:
58 A DVANCED RECORDING
Automatic White Balance
Preset White Balance
The automatic white balance compensates for the color temperature of a scene. In most
cases, the auto setting will balance the ambient light and create beautiful images, even
under mixed-lighting conditions. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set
for the color temperature of the flash.
Fluorescent - for fluorescent
lighting: office ceiling lights.
Tungsten - for incandescent
lighting: household light bulbs.
Daylight - for outdoor and sunlit
subjects.
Cloudy - for overcast outdoor
scenes.
White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral.
The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating
filters in conventional photography. An indicator will be displayed on the monitor if a
setting other than auto white-balance is chosen. White balance is set independently in
section 1 of the movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus (p. 44).
