Taking Photographs-Advanced Photography White Balance Bracketing White-balance bracketing can be used if you are uncertain whether the option selected in the WHITE BALANCE menu will produce the desired results, or if you want to experiment with different white balance settings without confirming the view in the monitor before each shot. When this option is in effect, the camera takes three shots each time the shutter-release button is fully pressed: one image with the selected white balance value, one image with a reddish cast, and one image with a bluish cast. Recording Time Because the camera takes three shots each time the shutter-release button is pressed, the time required to save images to the memory card is approximately tripled when white-balance bracketing is used. Restrictions on White Balance Bracketing White-balance bracketing can not be used when: BSS is on ( 112), image quality is set to HI ( 73), noise reduction is on or set to Clear Image Mode ( 128), or a setting other than Single is chosen for CONTINUOUS ( 108). Confirming White Balance Bracketing While white-balance bracketing is in effect, a WB BKT icon appears in the monitor. 127
