Shooting Sunsets and Fireworks By switching the white balance setting from Auto to a preset setting manually, you can enhance the beauty of colors in a sunset or a fireworks display. Sunset does not appear red when shot with white balance. In the Auto white balance mode, white is used as the base color for reference in reproducing the colors of sunsets and fireworks, so the colors in a sunset may not appear red and the colors in fireworks may not appear as beautiful. To improve the accuracy of color reproduction in these cases, press and hold down the white balance mode button , turn the main dial or sub dial until you see the number 5500 (clear daylight) appear in the control panel, and then take the picture. To increase the amount of red in the pictures, select 6500 (overcast daylight), or to reduce the amount of red, select 3700 (incandescent bulb). Sunset appears in more natural red when shot with preset white balance (5500). You can manually select one of the seven available white balance settings to experiment and achieve the artistic color effects that you desire in your pictures. Using Preset White Balance (© 102) If fireworks are difficult to focus, move the focus mode switch to MF (manual focus), and then use the focus ring to focus the shots. Using Manual Focus (MF) (© 68) Colors of fireworks can also be adjusted with white balance. 62
