Konica Minolta DiMAGE S414 User Manual

Preset white-balance settings must be set before the image is taken. Once set, the effect is
immediately visible on the LCD monitor.

The built-in flash can be used with preset
white-balance settings, but will create a
pinkish or blueish cast with the fluorescent
and tungsten settings. The flash is daylight
balanced and will produce acceptable
results with the daylight and cloudy
settings.

Automatic White Balance

Preset White Balance

The automatic white balance compensates for the color temperature of a scene. In most cases, the
auto setting will balance the ambient light and create beautiful images, even under mixed-lighting
conditions. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the
flash.

WHITE BALANCE

White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. The effect is
similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional
photography.

An indicator is displayed on the monitor if a setting other than auto white-balance is chosen. White
balance is set in the basic section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 54).

Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting: office
ceiling lights.

Tungsten - for incandescent lighting:
household filament light bulbs.

Daylight - for outdoor and sunlit 
subjects.

Cloudy - for overcast outdoor scenes.
