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.
