WB: Matching the Light Source _
The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in
the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the <_]> (Auto)
setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors
cannot be obtained with <_W>, you can select the white balance to
match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
Press the <T WB> button.
[White balance] will appear.
Select the white balance.
Press the <41_> key or turn the
< _> dial to select the desired white
balance, then press < __>.
The "Approx. ****K" (K: Kelvin)
displayed for the following white
balance settings < -_ >, < l_& >,
<_>, <_> or <_> is the
respective color temperature.
Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance
for a specific light source for better accuracy. Do this procedure under
the actual light source to be used.
Photograph a white object.
A plain, white object should fill the
viewfinder's center.
