Custom White Balance Setting
Custom white balance lets you set the white balance yourself by photographing a white subject
to use as the basis for the camera’s white balance, and then selecting that picture for use as
white balance data.
1 Photograph a white subject.
● Take a picture of a white subject, just as
you would take a normal picture.
● Frame the shot so that the white subject fills the
entire partial metering zone in the viewfinder.
● This picture can be taken using any mode ( → 16).
● Photograph a white subject so that a standard
exposure is obtained. If the picture is underex-
posed or overexposed, the correct white balance
might not be obtained.
