Setting the one-touch white balance

This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than preset WB can

provide. Point the camera at a sheet of white paper under the light source you want to use to

determine the white balance. The optimum white balance for the current shooting conditions

can be saved in the camera. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as

well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

Set [; FUNCTION] to [V] beforehand. (gP. 91)

1 Point the camera at a sheet of white paper.

• Position the paper so that it fills the viewfinder. Make sure there are no shadows.

2 While holding down the < button, press the shutter

button.

• The one-touch white balance screen appears.

3 Select [YES] and press the i button.

• The white balance is registered.

• The registered white balance will be stored in the camera as

a preset WB setting. Turning the power off does not erase the

data.

After pressing the shutter button, [WB NG RETRY] is displayed:

j When there is not enough white in the image, or when the image is too bright, too dark or the

colors look unnatural, you cannot register the white balance. Change the aperture and shutter

speed settings, then repeat the procedure from Step 1.
