Page 82: N White Balance
Adjusting the Camera Settings in Shooting Mode N White Balance The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting.
Page 83 Note on White Balance Setting There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings That cannot be Applied Simultaneously” (A 75) for more information. Flash Mode Set the flash mode to W Off (A 62) at white balance settings other than a (Auto) or g (Flash). White Balance Setting The white balance setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) is selected.
Page 84: Preset Manual
Adjusting the Camera Settings in Shooting Mode Preset Manual Preset manual is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light). Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting.
Page 85: M Iso Sensitivity
M ISO Sensitivity Sensitivity is a measure of the camera’s response to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image. Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of moving subjects or those taken under dim lighting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise”- randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels - concentrated in dark portions of images.
