THE POCKET GUIDE TO THE SAMSUNG NX

COLOUR

To ensure accurate colour, you need to set the right
white balance for the lighting conditions... or use auto
The everyday light sources we encounter
emit a colour cast to their light. For example,
fluorescent lights turn the scene green and
household lightbulbs turn everything orange.
Our brains are very clever at removing this
colour cast to make the light look as neutral
as possible. Digital cameras are equally clever;
in the Auto white balance (AWB) mode the
camera recognises the prevailing lighting
conditions and corrects things accordingly.
Sometimes, though, it's nice to take a little
more control and explore your camera's
abilities. The NX series has nine settings for
white balance, including full auto, and you can
see the effect each has by scrolling through
on the rear display.
If you shoot in the Raw image quality setting, you can change the
white balance on your computer to a new one, or correct a mistake.
DON'T FORGET: CREATIVE WHITE BALANCE

For creative effect you can manually select the 'wrong' white balance
to add a fun and interesting colour cast to your image.
