Adjusting white balance

CAUTION

In the following situations, auto white balance mode (A) will
not function.

• Taking pictures where the illumination at the camera and the

subject differs, such as taking pictures of an outdoor subject from

inside a room, or shooting a spot-lighted subject on a stage.

• Taking pictures in mixed light sources. For example, taking

pictures at a party with fluorescent lights, incandescent lights, etc.

• Taking pictures in special light sources. For example, sodium

lamps or other special lighting sources,

NOTE

Color temperature

The color temperature of most illumination sources varies in tones

ranging from reddish to bluish. These colors are subject to change

depending on individual perception. In order to represent the color
of light objectively, we use a color temperature scale expressed in
absolute temperature (° K). As shown below, the lower the color

temperature, the more reddish the light becomes, and the higher
the color temperature the more bluish it becomes.
