In response to Graeme`s thread on the white balance setting on a Canon 350D, here are the white balance settings on a Nikon D40.
Shutter speed 1/2 sec.
Aperture F 16 with one stop of underexposure.
ISO 200.
Tank lighting is 22W of Arcadia Arc Pod compact T5s.
Each white balance setting can be adjusted by +/- 3 in increments of 1. Adjusting negative makes the image more yellowy and red, adjusting up makes it more blue. I haven`t done any adjusting, as there would otherwise be 24 pictures to post.
The last image is pre set white balance which is used when the desired results can`t be achieved using the other settings. Use a white or neutral grey object under the subject lighting for the camera to use for measuring white balance. Once again, I haven`t made any adjustments with this setting.
Excuse all the furniture in the tank and lack of background, but the tank isn`t really ready yet, to attempt to photograph properly.
Auto White Balance:
Incandescent:
Fluorescent:
Direct Sunlight:
Flash (with the flash selected off):
Cloudy:
Shade:
Pre Set:
Cheers, Dave.
