with the one-touch white balance.

P. 9 0

The white balance setting

is wrong.

again.

P. 8 7

Halation produces unnatural colors in the picture.

This may be caused by

excessively bright

ultraviolet light on the

subject, such as sunlight

shining through the leaves

of trees, brightly lit

windows at night,

reflections off metal in

direct sunlight, etc.

• Use a commercially available UV filter. As this

may upset the overall color balance, it should

only be used under the conditions described on

the left.

• Process the picture using a graphics application

that supports JPEG (Paint Shop Pro,

Photoshop, etc.). For example, after picking up

unnatural colors with an eyedropper tool, etc.,

you can select color areas, and try color

conversion or saturation adjustment. For

details, refer to the manual for the graphics

application you are using.
