To call the custom white balance setting
• The custom white balance setting registered in this operation is effective until a new setting is registered.
(The setting is retained after the power is turned off.)
• If the flash is used when the shutter button is pressed, a custom white balance is registered with the flash
light taken into account. Take pictures with the flash in later shootings.
• The message “Custom WB error” indicates that the value is beyond the expected range. (When the flash is
used on a subject in close proximity or a subject with a bright color is in the frame.) If you register this
value, the
indicator turns yellow on the recording information display on the LCD monitor. You can
shoot at this point, but it is recommended that you set the white balance again to get a more correct white
balance value.
Sensitivity to light is expressed by the ISO number (recommended exposure index). The
larger the number from the standard (ISO 200), the higher the sensitivity.
