Correcting the Green Tint from Mercury
Lamps
• After shooting scenes lit by mercury lamps, you should set [Hg Lamp
Corr.] to [Off]. If left set to [On], naturally occurring green colors (not from
the effects of a mercury lamp) may be accidentally corrected.
• Movies cannot be corrected.
• Since you may not achieve the expected results depending on the
shooting conditions, try taking some test shots first.
