Keeping Colors True: The White-Balance Menu

What Is “White Balance”?

The color of the light reflected by an object depends on the color of the light

source. The human brain is able to detect and compensate for such changes

in color, with the result that a white object will look white to humans whether

viewed in sunlight, under overcast skies, or indoors under incandescent or fluo-

rescent lighting. To a camera, however, the “whites” produced by these dif-

ferent sources of light vary in color, some being slightly blue and others yellow

or red. A digital camera can adjust colors according to lighting so that colors

that appear white to the human eye also appear white when viewed in the

final photograph. This adjustment is called “white balance.”

Choosing a White Balance Setting

In User Sets 1, 2, and 3, white balance can be cho-

sen using the white-balance option in the SHOOT-

ING menu (in User Set A, white balance is adjusted

automatically).

Viewing the Current White-Balance Setting

At settings other than Auto, the current white-bal-

ance setting is indicated by an icon in the monitor.
