A Notes
At settings other than Q, auto white balance is
used with the flash. Turn the flash off (pg. 37) to take
pictures at other settings.
Results vary with shooting conditions. Play pictures
back after shooting to check colors in the monitor.
Q
: Custom White Balance
Choose Q to adjust white
balance for unusual lighting
conditions. The options at
right will be displayed; frame a
white object so that it fills the
monitor and press the shutter button all the way
down to measure white balance.
If “COMPLETED!” is displayed, press MENU/OK to
set white balance to the measured value. This
value is stored even when the battery is removed
and can be reselected by pressing MENU/OK when
custom white balance options are displayed.
If “UNDER” is displayed, raise exposure
compensation (pg. 35) and try again.
If “OVER” is displayed, lower exposure
compensation and try again.
B Tip
To give a deliberate color cast to your photographs,
measure a value for custom white balance using a
colored instead of a white object.
