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 shooting. 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.
HU1D
Auto

setting)
White balance automatically adjusted

Fluorescent

when shooting under overcast
skies.

the flash.
The effects
of
the selected
option
can be previewed in the monitor. At settings
other than
Auto, the icon for the current setting
is
displayed
in
the
monitor
(~
