When a continuous-advance bracketed series is captured, the entire series is erased. The daylight preset white-balance setting is for beautiful sunny days. When the weather is overcast, the color is cooler and the cloudy setting is appropriate. When the main light source is skylight, light from the blue sky rather than the direct light of the sun, the resulting color is very blue. And fluorescent lamps come in classifications that define their color. The preset white balance settings can be adjusted with the rear control dial (p. Some artificial lighting have a discontinuous spectrum that create very unnatural color in a photograph. White balance cannot correct high-energy vapor lighting: sodium-vapor (yellow highway lights), or mercury vapor. For portraits under these lighting conditions, the flash can be used to overpower the ambient light. With landscapes containing these types of lights, set the white balance to the preset daylight setting. The lens aperture controls not only exposure, but also depth of field; the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the depth of field and the longer the shutter speed needed to make the exposure. The smaller the aperture value, the shallower the depth of field and the faster the shutter speed needed to make the exposure.
