TIPS Checking the white balance you have adjusted: j After setting the compensation value, point the camera at the subject to take test shots. When the AEL/AFL button is pressed, sample images that have been taken with the current WB settings are displayed. Adjusting all WB mode settings at once: j See "ALL >" (gP. 101). 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. 96) 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 4 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. TIPS 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. Record mode, white balance, and picture mode WB bracketing Three images with different white balances (adjusted in specified color directions) are automatically created from one shot.
