White Balance (Adjusting Hue) Select A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode (A25) M d button M A or C tab (A11) M White balance Reference Section The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting or fluorescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as "white balance." Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results. Option Description a Auto (default setting) White balance is automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations. b Preset manual Useful when shooting under unusual lighting. See "Using Preset Manual" for more information (E34). c Daylight White balance adjusted for direct sunlight. d Incandescent Use under incandescent lighting. e Fluorescent Use under fluorescent lighting. f Cloudy Use when taking pictures under overcast skies. g Flash Use with the flash. The icon for the current setting is displayed on the monitor during shooting (A6). When Auto is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed. B Notes on White Balance • This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See "Features That Cannot Be Used Simultaneously" (A73) for more information. • At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, set the flash mode to W (off) (A61). E33
