3.2 Exposure and White Balance
The color temperature is tuned by directly adjusting the RGB channels of the
CMOS imaging sensor to change original RAW data, rather than apply a digital
LUT. Although you can modify the white balance of RAW data or change color
temperature by post processing, all the modifications are based on the data
you shoot previously. In order to minimize the distortion in post processing, it
is essential to gain as accurate color temperature as possible in the shooting
stage.
3.2.1 Color Temperature List
The camera has two types of color temperature lists for white balance:
Simple List and Complete List.
 Simple List: With typical color temperatures such as 2800K, 3200K,
4300K, 5500K, 5600K, 6400K and User WB. Among them, UserWB is
user-defined value, automatically generated when do the Auto WB
manually.
 Complete List: Complete color temperatures according to the
portfolios of color temperatures (In accordance with the 100K for a
step) and lighting types. You can simply choose the one to match
with your shooting condition.
You can change color temperatures by the operation on the right.
Also, the Tint value can be changed by pressing and holding the shortcut button [WB] for one sec. When the
number shows green, the Tint value is able to increase or decrease by rotating the wheel.
3.2.2 Auto White Balance
The Complete List of color temperatures meets the need for most cases. If the
color temperatures listed in the built-in list are not enough to meet complex
shooting lighting conditions, use a gray card or white card to conduct Auto
WB to achieve a specific color temperature.
To conduct the Auto WB:
1. Put a gray/white card in front of the camera;
2. Make the gray/white card cover the whole display by zooming;
3. Choose: [MENU  Liveview  Custom White Balance]
The camera corrects the white balance parameters and writes the color temperature value to the UserWB.
Once the UserWB is set, it can be used anytime later on.
