White Balance Auto Bracketing
With just one shot, three images having a different color temperature can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the current white balance mode’s standard color temperature, the
white balance setting can be changed from 0 to +/–3 stops in whole-stop increments. This is
called white balance bracketing. One stop is equivalent to 5 Mireds of a color conversion filter.
The bracketing sequence starts with a standard color temperature, bluish tone (decreased
compensation), and reddish tone (increased compensation). The images are assigned a file
number and recorded in the CF card.
Set the image-recording quality to any
setting except [RAW].
