Picture Quality, Continued ■ "Auto" and "Natural Light Auto": Locking Auto White Balance You can temporarily lock auto white balance when shooting in [Auto] and [Natural light auto] modes. This can, for example, be used to prevent colors changing when you zoom in on subjects wearing reds, greens, or other bright colors. White balance in close shot is adjusted to reflect colors of objects visible in frame, potentially lending shot a color cast. Using auto white-balance lock (AWB-L) to lock auto white balance before starting close shot eliminates color cast. ● Assigning [AWB lock (hold)] to a control using Custom Setting g2 [Custom controls] lets you lock white balance at the touch of a button. If desired, you can assign [AE/AWB lock (hold)] to a control to lock both white balance and exposure (0 52). ● The lock ends when the control to which [AWB lock (hold)] or [AE/ AWB lock (hold)] is assigned is pressed a second time or the standby timer expires.
