At settings other than   (Choose Color Temp.) and PRE (White Balance Pre-
set), white bal ance can be “fi ne tuned” to compensate for vari a tions in the color 
of the light source or to in tro duce a deliberate “warm” or “cold” cast into an image.  
Higher settings (“+”) can be used to lend im ag es a blu ish tinge or to com pen sate 
for light sources with a yellow or red cast, while low er ing white bal ance (“–”) can 
make pho to graphs ap pear slight ly more yellow or red or com pen sate for light 
sources with a blue cast.  Adjustments can be made in the range +3 to –3 in 
in cre ments of one.  Except in Fluorescent mode, each in cre ment is equiv a lent 
to about 10 mired.

White balance is fi ne tuned using the White Balance option in the shooting 
menu or by pressing the WB button and rotating the sub-command dial.  At set-
tings other than ±0, a 

 icon appears in the control panel.

The White Balance Menu
Selecting an option other than Choose Color Temp. 
or White Balance Preset in the white balance menu 
(

 35) displays the menu shown at right.  Press the 

multi selector up or down to choose the desired 
value and press the multi selector to the right.  The 
shooting menu will be displayed.

The WB Button
Press the WB  button and rotate the sub-command 
dial until the desired value is displayed.

Any given change in color temperature produces a greater diff erence in color at low 
color tem per a tures than it would at higher color temperatures.  For example, a change 
of 1000 K produces a much greater change in color at 3000 K than at 6000 K.  Mired, 
calculated by multiplying the inverse of the color temperature by 10 

6

, is a measure of 

color temperature that takes such variation into account, and as such is the unit used 
in color-temperature compensation fi lters.  E.g.:
•  4000 K – 3000 K (a diff erence of 1000 K) = 83 mired
•  7000 K – 6000 K (a diff erence of 1000 K) = 24 mired
