What white balance settings are available? - Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 Digital Camera

The only time I see WHITE BALANCE GREY is when your Picture Mode does not need it: When you are taking photos in B&W or monochrome or any mono color.

This is due to the white balance setting on the camera, if available. Auto is a fine setting.
You can use a "daylight" setting outdoors and an "incandescent" setting indoors. (Sunlight is bluer than filament bulb light, which is more yellowish in color.)
If you cannot change the white balance setting on your camera, you're probably just stuck with this issue. A newer camera would deal with this difference considerably better.

You may have the white balance set incorrectly. If so, set it to "auto white balance".

You must switch to preset, push the awb button on the front to switch from auto white balance indoor to auto white balance sunlight (3200k to 5600k). This will automatically balance the camera to the approximate settings needed. For fine tuning the white balance.....
If you want to set the A and B buttons, first switch to A, then hit the Auto button by the user 1,2 3 button until you are off of auto total white auto focus auto iris mode AWB A ch will show in the viewer hit the Auto again and ATW shows, meaning Auto total white is on, and you will not have control over the white balance, it will continue to float and try to automatically balance in the middle of your footage. Once you are on AWB A ch from hitting the AUTO button, then point the camera at the white you are balancing to (of course put the white under the lighting you want to balance to) push the AWB button on the front of the camera and hold it in until the camera goes through the white balance mode and the black balance mode,...the camera will go dark while this is being done but an OK with the correct color temperature will show briefly on the screen when it is done and you can release the AWB button. Now you have set the A button to the white balance for the current lighting.
If you are going to be switching between indoor and outdoor, do the same for the B button above and set it's white balance to the exterior light color temp. that way you can just switch between A and B when you are moving fast between interior and exterior shots and have the correct color temp.
You could always leave the switch on preset, and hit the AWB button on the front to switch from 3200 to 5600, but remember not all light is either 3200 or 5600, that is why we use the A and B settings and get the White balance for the exact color temp of the space being shot in.

white balance can only be manually configured on "PSM" modes only, the other modes set the white balance automatically .

The following White balance settings are available for the DiMAGE E223: AUTO, Preset (Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent).

The following White balance settings are available for the A2: AUTO, Preset (Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Shade, Cloudy, Flash and Custom1 to 3) The following slight adjustment is possible: * At setting Daylight, Tungsten, Shade, Cloudy and Flash: +3 to -3 (one unit is approximately equal to a 10 mired shift.) *At fluorescent lamp setting: equivalent to 7 fluorescent lamp(3 -wavelength colored fluorescent bulb, 3-wavelength white fluorescent lamp, 3-wavelength neutral white fluorescent lamp, 3-wavelength daylight fluorescent lamp, white fluorescent, neutral white fluorescent, daylight fluorescent lamp)

The following White balance settings are available for the A1: AUTO, Preset (Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Shade, Cloudy, Flash and Custom1 to 3) The following slight adjustment is possible: * At setting Daylight, Tungsten, Shade, Cloudy and Flash: +3 to -3 (one unit is approximately equal to a 10 mired shift.) *At fluorescent lamp setting: equivalent to 7 fluorescent lamp(3 -wavelength colored fluorescent bulb, 3 wavelength white fluorescent lamp, 3 -wavelength neutral white fluorescent lamp, 3-wavelength daylight fluorescent lamp, white fluorescent, neutral white fluorescent, daylight fluorescent lamp)

Cameras need a white reference for that measurement, they don't get it from the meter. On your camera (which I think works pretty much like my 10D) you can take a picture of a white card (white reference); the camera would use that frame to set its WB in AUTO mode (AWB). You can also safely guesstimate the K value with a little practice for cases in which a white card is not available or no other white objects are at hand. White Balance measures the light K value which illuminates a scene it doesn't measure the objects in an image. Further, in some cases you may have mixed lighting which makes matters slightly more complex. For example: if you are shooting under tungsten ambient light and want to use flash as a main or fill light you'll have to use a gel on the flash to match the ambient light and set the camera to that K value. This will give uniform light cast (color). However, for creative purposes, it's desirable occasionally to let one of the two light sources "shift". In the example just given, if you set the camera to a K value of 5600-5800 (around a typical flash K value) and use the flash without gels then, the tungsten ambient light would appear as shifted (redish, the typical tungsten colorcast when used with daylight film/wb) while the flash light would be balanced and not shifted. This difference (shift) would give the picture a different feeling.

This function is useful when you need more precise white balance than the Preset White Balance can provide. To set the optimum white balance for the shooting conditions, point the camera at a white object under the light source that you want to use, and press the OK button to set the white balance.
