Explanation of “Auto white balance”

What is white balance?

Human eyes have such an adaptability as they recognize the color

of a white object as white even when the color of lighting changes.

This digital still camera senses color temperature of the light

source and adjust the white balance according to the sort of the

light source so that a white object can be reproduced as white as

possible. However, the camera frequently fails in sensing the color

temperature when the scene is colored almost in monotone.

Cases difficult to adjust white balance:

・ Close-up photography of monotone flower,

・ Object thoroughly lighted up by color lighting such as the

evening sun, stage lights, etc.

In such a case, take pictures and make sure of recording results

with the preview function while checking the composition and

coloring.

White balance of a picture can be checked on the LCD monitor

screen, therefore, compose a picture so that it has a variety of

colors and you obtain a satisfactory result in white balance of the

picture.

※ Image seen on the LCD monitor screen in the preview mode

cannot be transferred as video output to a personal computer to

see it on its display.

※ Since the battery power is considerably consumed in the

preview mode, it is recommended to use an AC adaptor to see

image in the preview mode.

It is also recommended to set the flash to the forced flash mode,

because white balance is automatically adjusted in accordance

with the characteristic of the flashlight.
