Adjusting For Natural Color Tone (White Balance Adjustment) - Sony DSC-D700 Marketing Operating Instructions Manual

Adjusting for Natural Color Tone (White Balance Adjustment)

This camera comes equipped with the white balance function to give a more natural color tone to
your pictures in a variety of shooting conditions.
Choose a white balance mode from Auto White Balance (Auto), White Balance Hold (Hold),
Outdoor (Outdoor), and Indoor (Indoor). With White Balance Hold you can adjust the most
appropriate white balance for the shooting condition.
Note
White balance is the balance of the level of white among the channels of R (red), G (green), and B
(Blue) in a digital camera. If a picture is taken with this balance properly adjusted, reds or blues do
not overwhelm the composition and a white subject is shot with appropriate level of white.
