Adjusting color (white balance)
White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by the camera
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired
results or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.

White balance color temperature
As their temperature increases, objects
fi
rst start to shine red and then to shine blue
as the temperature rises further. Color temperature expresses the color of light in
this way using absolute temperatures in degrees K (kelvin).
Fluorescent light sources indicated by
white dots in the accompanying
fi
gure have
colors that differ slightly from those on the
color temperature scale; the values shown
in the
fi
gure have been converted to color
temperatures for illustrative purposes.
