White Balance
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 coloration,
choose a white balance setting that matches the light source before shoot-
ing. Although the default setting, [Auto], can be used under most types of
lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light
source to achieve more accurate results.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At set-
tings other than [Auto], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (
