When you click on it, the menu options that come up are: cloudy, fluorescent, daylight...etc, etc. As you switch back & forth between them, looking through the lens at something white, you'll see the drastic difference in tones. When I can't stop my pictures from turning out gray or yellowish, I just fiddle with it until it actually Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695040220881913062.post-87172181924201616422007-08-28T15:16:00.000-07:002007-08-28T15:16:00.000-07:00yeah, white balance is still a mystery, ambika. le...yeah, white balance is still a mystery, ambika. learning it is high on my to-do list. and i really do like my tablecloth wedding gown! it might sell better than my jewelry. i thought i'd never finish with the darn pictures of those 1st 20 sets of jewelry. in fact divide 400 pics by 20 sets of jewelry, & you'll see just how awful that task was... and all self-shot, no tripod, no help, terrible Cheryl Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963883560460789918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695040220881913062.post-31973524808058989532007-08-28T14:50:00.000-07:002007-08-28T14:50:00.000-07:001) I am super impressed that you took that picture...1) I am super impressed that you took that picture of yourself.
