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 final photograph. This is useful when shooting a

subject under natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color

temperatures.

Select [P] or [Q] (one-touch white balance 1 or 2) and press the

INFO button.

Photograph a piece of colorless (white or gray) paper.

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

• The one-touch white balance screen appears.

Select [Yes] and press Q.

• 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.
