Color: White balance There are other sources of lighting like tungsten light and fluorescent light, besides the sunlight, illuminating the subject. Unlike the sunlight, these lights contain particular colors. Hence, the same white object shot under different lighting conditions turns out in different colors. Even for sunlight, the outcome differs depending on the sky conditions, shadow of trees or buildings etc. White balance automatically corrects the effects from these lighting and enables shooting with the right colors. Though the right colors can be obtained when the white balance is set to [AUTO], depending on the shooting situations, it may not be possible to get the intended colors. In such cases, change to an appropriate setting. g "White balance k Adjusting the color tone" (P. 54) 2 Fluorescent light Tungsten light Shade of tree Improving your shooting skills k Shooting guides A guide to functions for different subjects This section describes the functions suitable under different shooting conditions depending on the subject. Taking landscape pictures Outdoor scenes such as flower scenery and night scenery are landscape pictures. There are different things to take note of when taking different landscape pictures. This section describes taking outdoor scenery pictures such as forests and lakes in daylight. Changing shooting mode Outdoor scenery includes both motion and still sceneries. The shooting method changes accordingly in order to capture a realistic movement of the subject. • To take a picture that focuses on a certain point among a wider range of the image such as bringing out the depth of a forest, use A (Aperture priority shooting) mode and close the aperture (increase the aperture value) as much as possible. • To capture the instant where waves smash against the seashore, use S (Shutter priority shooting) mode and select a fast shutter speed. To shoot a flowing waterfall or river, set a slow shutter speed to capture a scene different from the actual scene. Exposure compensation can be used even under different shooting modes. Check the image that you have shot and use + or - to compensate. EN 25
