White Balance Auto Bracketing

With just one shot, three images having a different color temperature can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the current white balance mode’s standard color temperature, the
white balance setting can be changed from 0 to +/–3 stops in whole-stop increments. This is
called white balance bracketing. One stop is equivalent to 5 Mireds of a color conversion filter.
The bracketing sequence starts with a standard color temperature, bluish tone (decreased
compensation), and reddish tone (increased compensation). The images are assigned a file
number and recorded in the CF card.

Set the image-recording quality to any
setting except [RAW].

shooting, the number of images recorded will be
three times as many as the number of shots taken.

Since three images are recorded for one shot, the
CF card will take longer to record the shot.
