White Balance on My Camera
June 16th, 2008
One thing that bugs me when taking indoor pictures is the incandescent lighting that renders everything yellow, as if everybody suddenly turns into Asians. What’s worst is the built-in flash that white-washes out all my subjects. I discovered this weekend that there’s a neat little setting on my camera that adjusts for the incandescent lighting. It’s still not perfect WB, but it beats white-washed Asians (I don’t mean the people, although I hate those too, I mean the lighting and flash effects).
Using camera’s Tungsten Light setting. Somewhat normal WB.
Letting camera select WB automatically. Too yellow.
This is why I hate built-in flash.
