Fine-Tuning White Balance

White balance can be "fine-tuned" to compensate for variations in the color of the
light source or to introduce a deliberate color cast into an image. White balance is
fine-tuned using the White balance option in the shooting menu.

Press G to display the menus, then
highlight White balance in the shooting

white balance option and press 2 (if
Fluorescent is selected, highlight the
desired lighting type and press 2; note that
fine-tuning is not available with Preset

White Balance Fine-Tuning
The colors on the fine-tuning axes are relative,
not absolute. For example, moving the cursor
to B (blue) when a "warm" setting such as J
(incandescent) is selected will make
photographs slightly "colder" but will not
actually make them blue.
