How to Use Using shooting functions Adjusting color tones
Capturing a basic white color in [Custom Setup] mode
In a scene where the ambient light consists of multiple types of light sources, it is recommended
to use the custom white balance in order to accurately reproduce the whiteness.
1. MENU → (Camera Settings) → [White Balance] → [Custom Setup].
2. Hold the product so that the white area fully covers the AF area located in the center, and
then press on the center of the control button.
The calibrated values (Color Temperature and Color Filter) are displayed and registered.
Note
The message [Custom WB Error] indicates that the value is higher than the expected range,
when the flash is used on a subject with too bright colors in the frame. If you register this
value, the
indicator turns yellow on the recording information display. You can shoot at
this point, but it is recommended that you set the white balance again to get a more accurate
white balance value.
