Setting a Custom White Balance
You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for the
shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate an object, such as a
piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to
establish as the standard white color.
In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the following
situations that are difficult for the
(Auto) setting to detect correctly.
• Shooting close-ups
• Shooting subjects of monotone color (such as sky, sea or forest)
• Shooting with a peculiar source of light (such as a mercury-vapor lamp)
