Correcting Greenish Image Areas from

Mercury Lamps

In shots of evening scenes with subjects illuminated by mercury lamps, the
subjects or background may appear to have a greenish tinge. This greenish
tinge can be corrected automatically when shooting, using Multi-area White
Balance.
•
After you are finished shooting under mercury lamps, you should
set [Hg Lamp Corr.] back to [Off]. Otherwise, green hues not
caused by mercury lamps may be corrected by mistake.

Try taking some test shots first to make sure you obtain the desired results.
