 TIPS
Checking the white balance you have adjusted:
J After performing Step 3, point the camera at the subject to take test shots. When the AEL/AFL
button is pressed, sample images that have been taken with the current WB settings are
displayed.
Adjusting all WB mode settings at once:
J Refer to “Compensating all WB” (P. 78).
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 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 [

Select [YES] and press the i button.

 TIPS
After pressing the shutter button, [WB NG RETRY] is displayed:
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.
WB bracketing
Three images with different white balances (adjusted in specified color directions) are
automatically created from one shot. One image has the specified white balance, while the
