Fine-Tuning White Balance - Nikon D610 User Manual

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 or by pressing the
L (U) button and rotating the sub-command dial.

Use the multi selector to fine-tune white
balance. White balance can be fine-tuned
on the amber (A)–blue (B) axis and the green
(G)–magenta (M) axis. The horizontal
(amber-blue) axis corresponds to color
temperature, with each increment
equivalent to about 5 mired. The vertical
(green-magenta) axis has the similar effects to the corresponding color
compensation (CC) filters.
