3 Custom White BalanceN If the exposure obtained in step 1 is underexposed or overexposed, a correct white balance might not be obtained. If an image was captured while the Picture Style was set to [Monochrome] (p.54), it cannot be selected in step 3. Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance. 3 Setting the Color TemperatureN You can numerically set the white balance's color temperature. 1 Press the button.

The color temperature can be set from 2800K to 10000K in 100K increments. When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green bias) as necessary. If you want to set to the reading taken with a color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter's reading and the camera's color temperature reading. 63
