After owning this camera for over 5 months, I finally decided to read pages 39-41 of the booklet
I found out how to do the white balance, and BOY does it make a difference!
I tried all night to no avail in taking actinic pictures. I always wondered why it is so hard to take actinic pics and
make them similar to what we actually see. I've known about the white balance for sometime now, but found it
unneccessary to utilize it since I don't really take pics. Well, tonight was the night.
This was taken PRIOR to white balancing. Believe it or not, this was ONE picture of the 22 I took that came out close to
decent as "in person"
This first shot is with the ACTINICS only
and the second one is same as above, but with photoshop for COLOR CORRECTION
============================================================
This one is ACTINICS+FLASH
This is the same as above, but with ACTINICS+PHOTOSHOP for color correction
=========================================================
And finally, the WHITE BALANCED PICTURES
First was with actinics only, no flash. Second pic is the same but with photoshop with color correction and a little unsharp mask
Here was my Tool for doing the WB, I think the last pics look very close to what we actually see, although the first pic looks good in its own right. I just like taking pics to what they are cloer too in real life.Â
I'll be balancing my Camera for Outdoor sunlight now, and I'll be doing a preset for my 10,00K lights + Actinics sometime this week.
