If the flash fires when reading the white balance data with the flash set to (Auto) or (Auto with red- eye reduction), make sure that you also use the flash when you shoot. z Since the white balance data cannot be read in Stitch Assist mode, preset the white balance in another shooting mode beforehand. z The camera will retain the custom white balance setting that you record even if you reset the camera to the default settings (p. 29). 57
