Taking Photographs-White Balance (daySlhigahdte) (daCylloiguhdty) Flash Direct Sunlight Fluorescent† Incandescent Keeping Colors True Fine-Tuning White Balance At settings other than PRE (preset), white balance can be "fine tuned" to compensate for variations in the color of the light source or to introduce a deliberate "warm" or "cold" cast into an image. Higher settings can be used to lend images a bluish tinge or to compensate for light sources with a yellow or red cast, while lowering white balance can make photographs appear slightly more yellow or red or compensate for light sources with a blue cast. Adjustments can be made in the range +3 to -3 in increments of one. In Auto mode, each increment is equivalent to about 10 mired. At other settings, white balance is adjusted as shown below: Approximate Color Temperature* +3 2,700 K 2,700 K 4,800 K 4,800 K 5,400 K 6,700 K +2 2,800 K 3,000 K 4,900 K 5,000 K 5,600 K 7,100 K +1 2,900 K 3,700 K 5,000 K 5,200 K 5,800 K 7,500 K ±0 3,000 K 4,200 K 5,200 K 5,400 K 6,000 K 8,000 K -1 3,100 K 5,000 K 5,300 K 5,600 K 6,200 K 8,400 K -2 3,200 K 6,500 K 5,400 K 5,800 K 6,400 K 8,800 K -3 3,300 K 7,200 K 5,600 K 6,000 K 6,600 K 9,200 K * The camera color temperature setting may differ from the value for color temperature measured with a photo color meter. † The size of the increments for Fluorescent reflects the wide variations in color temperature among the many different types of fluorescent light source, ranging from low-temperature stadium lighting to high-temperature mercury-vapor lamps. 53
