1 edit | Eddie, you can use any light source you like but don't mix. Tungsten is a good source.
Take a preset WB reading of the setup. More often than not the Tungsten WB setting in a camera will not give you results as good as a preset.
Edit: How to preset (in the A80 it is called custom) do the following. Turn the selector wheel to "P" (or any mode except AUTO)/press the "FUNC" button/scroll to "AWB" (or whatever WB setting you are at)/use right arrow on selector toggle till you come to "CUSTOM"/while aiming camera at scene press the "SET" button to evaluate WB. The camera will take a measurement shot.For this step make sure your setup and lighting is as you would use it. Also make sure you have the camera flash off. Finally press the "FUNC" button again to exit.
P.S. The above Custom WB instructions were based on how they are done on my wife's PowerShot A75. I assume the A80 will be no different. |
