White Balance (Adjusting Hue)

The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human

brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white

objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent

lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the

color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural colors, select a white

balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.

Although Auto (the default setting) can be used under most types of lighting, white balance

can be adjusted to suit the sky conditions or light source and achieve more natural color

tones in the image.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor when the camera is in shooting

mode (A 6). No icon is displayed when Auto is selected.
