White balance.


As you can see, both of these shots were taken with the toys sitting in the same place. It's a corner lit by a north facing window and isn't the brightest spot in the house. I have never been a great enthusiast for flash, preferring to use natural light if I possibly can, and both pictures were taken that way.


Woodey, K-01 & FA43.

Teddy, TZ40.

Initially, on both cameras, using AWB I had great difficulty with getting the colours how I wanted them, then I switched the WB to daylight and things improved dramatically. It still wasn't quite to my liking though, so I fine tuned the WB towards the blue end of things and my satisfaction. I was particularly pleased to find that, whilst the range of adjustment was a bit more limited, I could do this on the small sensor TZ40 as well as the APSC Pentax. Thank you Mr Lumix.
