Konica Minolta S304 - Manual (Page 55)

Custom-white-balance function allows a photographer to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting
condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful
with mixed-lighting conditions or when critical control over color is needed. The object used to make
a calibration should be white. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily be
carried in a camera bag.
