White Balance Mysteries
So I have a DVX100 and love it. I shoot alot of outdoor nature wildlife using 30P mode...Recently I was doing about a month of shooting out West, Montana, Wyoming etc...
So trying to get the best (most correct) color temperature, I always try to white balance the camera manually (zoom in on a white card and hold the button). The camera goes through it's cycles and always shows success. However MANY of times I find the color temp has an over all GREEN TINT to it. What the hell is going on and how do I fix it? I find this happens most often when I am shooting in very bright light (sunny day). I try rebalancing and sometimes I can get rid of the greenish hue and sometimes not. If I can't fix it I resort to using the Auto WB and that seems to work pretty well. However I want to figure out what the problem is so I can Manually WB and get the most correct WB. Any thoughts? THanks! |
I've found the same problem. Solution that I've found: in the menu, go to SCENE FILE -> COLOUR TEMP and increase the value between +3 or +5 (depend how you like the image, +3 gives a little warm, + 4 more natural, and +5 a little cold). Leave the CHROMA PHASE to 0. Save the SCENE.
If you're using the preset (3200-5600K), the COLOUR TEMP parameter has no effect. So stay in Manual WB. The 3200K preset is OK in artificial light, but I don't like the 5600K in natural light. |
