exposure compensation setting to zero (±0) before setting a custom
white balance. The correct white balance may not be obtained when
the exposure setting is incorrect (image appears completely black
or white).
• Shoot with the same settings as when reading the white balance
data. If the settings differ, the optimal white balance may not be set.
In particular, the following should not be changed.
- ISO Speed
- Flash
Setting the flash to on or off is recommended. If the flash fires
when reading the white balance data with the flash set to
(Auto
with Red-Eye Reduction) or (Auto), make sure that you also
use the flash when you shoot.

preset the white balance before selecting in the (Rec.)
