Fine-Tuning White Balance
White balance can be “fine-tuned” to compensate for variations in the color of the
light source or to introduce a deliberate color cast into an image.
White balance is
fine-tuned using the White balance option in the shooting menu or by pressing the
L (U) button and rotating the sub-command dial.
❚❚ The White Balance Menu
1 Select a white balance option in the
shooting menu.
To display the menus, press the G button.
Select White balance in the shooting menu,
then highlight a white balance option and
press 2.
If an option other than Auto,
Fluorescent, Choose color temp., or Preset
manual is selected, proceed to Step 2.
If Auto, Fluorescent, or Choose color
temp. is selected, highlight the desired setting and press 2.
For information on
fine-tuning preset white balance, see page 125.

Use the multi selector to fine-tune white
balance.
White balance can be fine-tuned
on the amber (A)–blue (B) axis and the green
(G)–magenta (M) axis.
The horizontal
(amber-blue) axis corresponds to color
temperature, with each increment
equivalent to about 5 mired.
The vertical
(green-magenta) axis has the similar effects to the corresponding color
compensation (CC) filters.
