Explanation of “Auto white balance”
What is white balance?
Human eyes have such an adaptability as they recognize the color
of a white object as white even when the color of lighting changes.
This digital still camera senses color temperature of the light
source and adjust the white balance according to the sort of the
light source so that a white object can be reproduced as white as
possible. However, the camera frequently fails in sensing the color
temperature when the scene is colored almost in monotone.
Cases difficult to adjust white balance:
・ Close-up photography of monotone flower,
・ Object thoroughly lighted up by color lighting such as the
evening sun, stage lights, etc.
In such a case, take pictures and make sure of recording results
with the preview function while checking the composition and
coloring.
White balance of a picture can be checked on the LCD monitor
screen, therefore, compose a picture so that it has a variety of
colors and you obtain a satisfactory result in white balance of the
picture.
※ Image seen on the LCD monitor screen in the preview mode
cannot be transferred as video output to a personal computer to
see it on its display.
※ Since the battery power is considerably consumed in the
preview mode, it is recommended to use an AC adaptor to see
image in the preview mode.
It is also recommended to set the flash to the forced flash mode,
because white balance is automatically adjusted in accordance
with the characteristic of the flashlight.
