Notes
The message “Custom WB Error” indicates that the value is beyond the expected range. (For
example, when the flash is used on a subject in close proximity or when a brightly colored subject is
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
obtain a more accurate white balance value.
Do not shake or strike the camera while capturing the basic white color.
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.
