The correct white balance setting will make a white object appear white in a photo.
The Pentax K10D is a 10-megapixel digital single lens reflex (SLR) camera released in 2006. It is designed for advanced amateur photographers and is loaded with features including a high-quality image processor, dust/weather proof seals, 11-point auto focus system, and two unique exposure modes: the Sv (sensitivity priority) mode and the TAv (shutter speed and aperture priority) mode. It also has a digital-preview feature which is very useful in selecting the right white-balance setting, which adjusts the color of an image so that white objects appear white.
Instructions
1. Move the power switch located on the top right side of the camera body to the "ON" position.
2. Set the mode dial to "Green" for basic shooting. The camera will automatically select the proper exposure, shutter speed, aperture and white-balance settings.
3. Select a preset white-balance setting. If you are not satisfied with photos taken with "Auto White Balance" or to intentionally apply a creative effect, press the "Fn" button at the back of the camera body. Press the left arrow in the four-way controller for the white-balance menu to appear.
4. Press the four-way button up or down to select from any of the following white-balance presets: daylight, shade, cloudy, fluorescent, tungsten, flash, manual or color temperature. Press "OK" button for your selection. Press "OK" button again to exit from the menu.
5. To get a digital preview before taking a picture, focus on the subject, compose the photo in the viewfinder and move the main switch to the "Preview" icon. Look in the LCD monitor to see how the image looks like. The digital preview image will not be saved.
6. To start taking pictures, press the shutter release button halfway to focus on the subject. Press it fully to capture a photo.
