Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 208).

• To set and use a custom white balance setting, it is advisable to select the

the exposure is incorrect (image is completely black or white).

the maximum telephoto setting. Also, the digital zoom should be set to [Off].

• Since the white balance data cannot be read in

mode, preset the white

balance in another shooting mode first before selecting

mode.

• Shoot with the same settings as when reading the white balance data. If the

settings differ, the optimal white balance may not be set.
