DVANCED RECORDING

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

Custom White Balance

To calibrate the camera, select custom setup
(Cust.set) from the white balance option in section 1
of the movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode
menus (p. 44); the custom white-balance calibration
screen opens.

Fill the image area with a white object; the object
does not need to be in focus. Press the central
button of the controller to make the calibration or
press the menu button to cancel the routine.

The live view shows the effect of the new white
balance setting. The custom setting will remain in
effect until another calibration is made or the white-
balance setting is changed.

If the custom white-balance setting is required again, select
custom recall from the white-balance option of the menu; the
last custom white-balance setting will be applied to the
camera. The same custom white-balance setting is made
and accessed from the movie, P, A, S, and M exposure
modes.
