custom white balance. The correct white balance may not
be obtained when the exposure setting is incorrect (image

balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal white
balance may not be set. In particular, the following should
not be changed.

the flash fires when reading the white balance data with
the flash set to Auto, make sure that you also use the
flash when you shoot.
