Balance.
You can select CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 white
balance.

that the LCD shows only white, and then press the
SHUTTER button.
3. The value you set will be saved.
- The custom white balance value will be applied, starting
with the next picture you take.
- The user configured white balance will remain effective
until it is overwritten.
How to set the colour temperature
Colour temperature is a simplified way to characterize the
light source. Low colour temperature implies warmer light

light (more blue).

jog dial (JOG2).
2. Select a desired colour temperature (K) by rotating
the Front jog dial (JOG1).
- Approx. 3000 K : Incandescent lamp
- Approx. 4000 K : Out door shooting around the
morning or evening
- Approx. 5000 K : Sunny daylight shooting
- Approx. 6000 K : Electronic photo flash
- Approx. 10000 K : Blue sky
3. Press the WB button to set the setting.
- After pressing the WB button, the colour temperature
icon will display.
- The user configured white balance will remain effective
until it is overwritten.
