Halation produces unnatural colors in the picture.
This may be caused by
excessively bright
ultraviolet light on the
subject, such as sunlight
shining through the
leaves of trees, window
frames in bright light at
night, reflection of metal
in direct sunlight, etc.
• Use a UV filter. As this may upset the
overall color balance, it should only be
used in the conditions described on the left.
• Process the picture using a graphics
application (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro,
etc.). For example, after picking up
unnatural colors with a syringe tool, etc.
you can select color areas, and try color
conversion or saturation adjustment. For
details, refer to the manual for the graphics
application you are using.
