Basic operations

One-touch white balance

Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting

that will be used in the ﬁ nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural

light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

Prepare a neutral-colored paper, such as white or gray.

• Frame the object so that it ﬁ lls the display and no shadows fall it.

Shoot while pressing the Y (one-touch white balance) button.

• You can also shoot after selecting P, Q, W, or X from the white balance

options screen and then pressing INFO.

Select from P, Q, W, or X and register.

• If it is already selected in the white balance menu, select [Yes] and press the Q

button.

• The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.

• The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the

power off does not erase the data.

% Tips

• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be

displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from

Step 1.

ISO sensitivity

Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be

taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],

which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then

adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

Set the lever to position 2, and turn the front dial to select items.
