Chapter 6

Choose from four white balance settings
depending on the type of light:

:Sunlight

:Overcast

:Tungsten

:Fluorescent

You can also preview different color tones by
trying the different PRESET WB settings
under the actual light source, and checking
the result on the monitor.

White Balance

Color reproduction differs depending on the lighting conditions. For instance,
when daylight, the setting sun, or indoor lighting are reflected on white paper,
the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By setting the
WB (white balance), you can achieve more natural-looking color.
