Fine-Tuning White Balance
At settings other than A (auto) and (preset), white
balance can be “fine-tuned” by highlighting the desired
setting and selecting an adjustment from a sub-menu.
Adjustments range from –3 to +3 in increments of one;
raising white balance tends to give images a blue cast,
while lowering white balance generally makes photos
appear slightly yellow or red. In the case of
(Fluorescent), the sub-menu offers a choice of
bulb types (see table at right).
