Using white balance
The color of water is different depending on whether it is a lake
surrounded by forests or a tropical sea. To capture the subtle
difference in color, try changing the white balance setting.
It may be difficult to use auto settings to capture the subtle
colors of a lake reflecting the leafy green of the trees or a sea
surrounded by corals. Try changing the settings for different
situations such as 5300K for sunny days and 7500K for an
outdoor shaded area during sunny days.
Changing metering mode
Depending on the depth and the direction of the sun, the brightness
of the sea differs significantly even in the same composition. There
is also a difference in the brightness of forests depending on the way
the trees overlap each other. If you know which are the areas to
emphasize the compensation in the image composition, you can
change the metering mode.
The metering mode is set in ESP as long as the camera settings
remain unchanged. The camera automatically assesses the
brightness in the composition and the ESP determines the
exposure. To emphasize on specific partial exposure in the
composition, change to center weighted metering or spot metering,
adjust the AF frame to the locations that you wish to adjust the
exposure and measure the exposure.
Changing saturation
There may be times when you could not reproduce the same color as what you have seen
even when you have used white balance or exposure compensation. You can set the
saturation to achieve the color that you want. You can select high or low setting for saturation.
When the setting is high, a vivid color will be used. However, as the image will be recorded
with this setting during shooting, it is recommended to avoid over-setting.

Taking flower pictures
Flower scenery ranges from a bunch of flowers in the wild to a field of flowers. The way of
shooting differs depending on how you wish to capture the image.
Using white balance
There are many colors of flowers ranging from light to vivid
ones. Depending on the colors, subtle color shades may not
be captured as seen.
When beautiful color shades are not reproduced, check the
light condition and change the white balance setting. The
default setting of white balance is auto as long as the camera
settings are not changed. Auto setting is fine but changing
the settings for different situations such as 5300K for sunny
days and 7500K for an outdoor shaded area during sunny
days will bring out subtle color shades more effectively.
