be displayed; frame a white object so that it fi lls the display and press the shutter button all the way down to
measure white balance (to select the most recent custom value and exit without measuring white balance,

kk: Color Temperature: Color Temperature
Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a light source, expressed in Kelvin (K). Light sources
with a color temperature close to that of direct sunlight appear white; light sources with a lower color tempera-
ture have a yellow or red cast, while those with a higher color temperature are tinged with blue. You can match
color temperature to the light source as shown in the following table, or choose options that diff er sharply from
the color of the light source to make pictures “warmer” or “colder.”
Choose for redder light sources
or “colder” pictures Choose for bluer light sources

60 Sensitivity Sensitivity “Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or select L (100), H (12800), H (25600), or H (51200) for special situations. Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at H (51200), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations. If AUTO1 , AUTO2 , or AUTO3 is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions. 1 Press MENU/OK in shooting mode to display the shooting menu. Press the selector up or down to highlight N ISO and press MENU/OK. 2 Press the selector up or down to highlight the desired option and press MENU/OK to select.

62 Exposure Compensation Exposure Compensation Rotate the exposure compensation dial to adjust exposure when photographing very bright, very dark, or high-contrast subjects. The eff ect is vis- ible in the display. P40005.6400Exposure compensation indicator Choose positive values (+) to increase exposure Choose negative values (–) to reduce exposure Q The amount of compensation available varies with the shooting mode. Exposure Value (EV) Exposure Value (EV) The exposure value is determined by the sensitiv- ity of the image sensor and the amount of light to which the sensor is exposed. Doubling the amount increases EV by one, while halving it reduces EV by one. The amount of light entering the camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed. Choosing an Exposure Compensation Value Choosing an Exposure Compensation Value • Backlit subjects: Choose values from +\f /3 EV to +1\f/3 EV. • Highly refl ective subjects or very bright scenes (e.g., snowfi elds) : +1 EV • Scenes that are mostly sky : +1 EV • Spotlit subjects (particularly if photographed against dark back- grounds) : –\f /3 EV • Subjects with low refl ectivity (pine trees or dark-colored foliage): –\f /3 EV
