White Balance Bracketing
White-balance bracketing can be used if you are
uncertain whether the option selected in the
WHITE BALANCE menu will produce the desired
results, or if you want to experiment with differ-
ent white balance settings without confirming the
view in the monitor before each shot. When this
option is in effect, the camera takes three shots
each time the shutter-release button is fully
pressed: one image with the selected white bal-
ance value, one image with a reddish cast, and one
image with a bluish cast.
Recording Time
Because the camera takes three shots each time the shutter-release button is
pressed, the time required to save images to the memory card is approximately
tripled when white-balance bracketing is used.
Restrictions on White Balance Bracketing
White-balance bracketing can not be used when: BSS is on (
112), image
quality is set to HI (
73), noise reduction is on or set to Clear Image Mode
(
128), or a setting other than Single is chosen for CONTINUOUS (
108).
Confirming White Balance Bracketing
While white-balance bracketing is in effect, a
WB BKT icon appears in the monitor.
