exposure compensation setting to zero (±0) before setting a custom
white balance. The correct white balance may not be obtained when
the exposure setting is incorrect (image appears completely black
or white).

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

Setting the flash to on or off is recommended. If the flash fires
when reading the white balance data with the flash set to

(Auto

with Red-Eye Reduction) or

use the flash when you shoot.

• Since the white balance data cannot be read in Stitch Assist mode,

preset the white balance before selecting

in the

• The camera will retain the manual white balance setting that you

record even if you reset the camera to the default settings (p. 54).
