Fine Adjustment of White Balance
To perform fine adjustment of white balance, select
the type of white balance and press the
k
button.
Use the multi selector
HIJK
to configure
settings.
• “A” represents amber, “B” blue, “G” green, and “M”
magenta.
• Press the
l
button to reset.
• Press the
d
button to return to the previous
screen.
The color displayed in the fine-tune screen represents the approximate color in the
color temperature direction. A fine-tuned color may not be exactly the same as that in
the image. For example, when the white balance is set to
Incandescent , the image
will not have a strong blue color even if fine adjustment is performed in the B (blue)
direction.
C
Color Temperature
Color temperature is an objective measure of colors of light sources which are
expressed in the unit of absolute temperature (K: Kelvin). Light sources with lower
color temperatures appear more reddish, while light sources with higher color
temperatures appear more bluish.
