Halation produces unnatural colors in the picture.
This may be caused
by excessively bright
ultraviolet light on the
subject, such as
sunlight shining
through the leaves of
trees, window frames
in bright light at night,
reflection of metal in
direct sunlight, etc.
• Use a UV filter. As this may upset the overall
color balance, it should only be used in the
conditions described on the left.
• Process the picture using a graphics application
(Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc.). For example,
after picking up unnatural colors with a syringe
tool, etc. you can select color areas, and try color
conversion or saturation adjustment. For details,
refer to the manual for the graphics application
you are using.
