3 Setting the White BalanceN
You can set the white balance’s color temperature numerically in Kelvin.
This is for advanced users.
1
Select [White balance].
Under the [2] tab, select [White
balance], then press <0>.
2
Set the color temperature.
Select [P].
Turn the <6> dial to set the color
temperature, then press <0>.
The color temperature can be set
from approx. 2500K to 10000K in
100K increments.
P Setting the Color Temperature
If he exposure obtained in step 1 is way off, a correct white balance
might not be obtained.
If he image was captured while he Picture Style was set to
[Monochrome] (p.91) or if a Creative filter has been applied to the image
(p.220), it cannot be selected in step 3.
Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can
produce a more accurate white balance.
The personal white balance registered with the provided software will be
registered under [O]. If you do step 3, the data for the registered
personal white balance will be erased.
When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white
balance correc ion (magenta or green) as necessary.
If you want to set [P] to the reading taken with a commercially-available
color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to
compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter’s
reading and he camera’s color temperature reading.
