Shooting Sunsets and Fireworks

By switching the white balance setting from Auto to a preset setting manually, you can

enhance the beauty of colors in a sunset or a fireworks display.

In the Auto white balance mode, white is used as

the base color for reference in reproducing the

colors of sunsets and fireworks, so the colors in a

sunset may not appear red and the colors in

fireworks may not appear as beautiful.

To improve the accuracy of color reproduction in

these cases, press and hold down the white

balance mode button

, turn the main dial or sub

dial until you see the number 5500 (clear daylight)

appear in the control panel, and then take the

picture.

To increase the amount of red in the pictures, select

6500 (overcast daylight), or to reduce the amount of

red, select 3700 (incandescent bulb).

You can manually select one of the seven available

white balance settings to experiment and achieve

the artistic color effects that you desire in your

pictures.

Using Preset White Balance (➞ 102)

If fireworks are difficult to focus, move the focus

mode switch to MF (manual focus), and then use

the focus ring to focus the shots.

Using Manual Focus (MF) (➞ 68)

Sunset does not appear red when

shot with white balance.

Sunset appears in more natural

red when shot with preset white

balance (5500).

Colors of fireworks can also

be adjusted with white

balance.
