Color and Quality
This section is primarily devoted to features that affect the color and fi nal look of
photographs. Covered are white balance, picture mode, and other items that affect
color balance and features (such as High Res Shot) for shooting high-resolution
pictures.
Adjusting Hue (K WB)
White balance makes white objects look white. Although [AUTO] works well in
most situations, you can choose other options if [AUTO] fails to make white objects
appear white or if instead you wish to deliberately lend white objects a color cast.
• This setting can be accessed via:
- The WB button (P. 203)
- The LV super control panel (P. 204)
- The menus (P. 204)
- Live controls (P. 204)
