Setting the one-touch white balance
This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than preset WB can
provide. Point the camera at a sheet of white paper under the light source you want to use to
determine the white balance. The optimum white balance for the current shooting conditions
can be saved for up to 4 settings in the camera. This is useful when shooting a subject under
natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.
Set [
; FUNCTION] to [V] beforehand. (gP. 99)
1
Point the camera at a sheet of white paper.
• Position the paper so that it fills the viewfinder. Make sure there are no shadows.
2
While holding down the < button, press the shutter
button.
• The one-touch white balance screen appears.
3
Select the one-touch white balance number to be
registered, and press the
i button.
• The white balance is registered.
• The registered white balance will be stored in the camera as a
preset WB setting. Turning the power off does not erase the

j When there is not enough white in the image, or when the image is too bright, too dark or the colors
look unnatural, you cannot register the white balance. Change the aperture and shutter speed
settings, then repeat the procedure from Step 1.
