White Balance

The light source can affect how the camera
reproduces color. Normally, the camera uses a
white portion of the composed picture as a
base to reproduce other colors, but if the
picture does not contain white, or if you are
shooting under artificial lights (especially
fluorescent lights), you may need to adjust the
white balance to achieve the most natural color
reproduction in your pictures. White balance
can be adjusted three ways.
• Auto white balance. The camera performs
balance color automatically using a white
portion of the composed picture as a
reference. Press and hold down the white
balance mode button
sub dial until you see -A- in the viewfinder and
control panel, or AUTO WB in the monitor,
and then take the picture.
• Quick reference white balance. Under the
same light source where you intend to take
the picture, point the camera at a white
surface (wall, sheet of paper, etc.), fill the
viewfinder with the white surface, and then
press the quick reference white balance
button on the front of the camera. When
you see GOOD displayed in the monitor,
press the button to save the setting, and
then take the picture. If you see NO GOOD,
this means that not enough white surface was
available, the white surface reflected too
much light, or color around the corners of the
sheet interfered with the registration.
• Preset white balance. Hold down the white
balance mode button
main dial or sub dial until you see the desired
color temperature setting, and then release
the button. Select AUTO, a color
temperature setting in the range 3000K to
7500K, or Quick Reference.
