Shooting

Using the Custom White Balance

You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal

setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera

evaluate an object, such as a piece of white paper or cloth,

or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to establish as the

standard white color.

In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the

following situations that are difficult for the

(Auto) setting

to detect correctly.

Shooting close-ups

Shooting subjects of monotone color (such as sky, sea or

forest)

Shooting with a peculiar source of light (such as a

mercury-vapor lamp)

FUNC. Menu * (Auto) (Custom).

See Menus and Settings (p. 29).

Aim the camera at a piece of white

paper or cloth and press .

Ensure that the center frame is completely filled with

the white image.
