Configure advanced settings.

To configure more advanced settings,

press the [

] button and press

the [ ][ ][ ][ ] buttons to adjust the

correction level.

To reset the amount of correction, touch

[Reset].

Press the [ ] button to complete the

setting.

Any correction level you set is retained even if you change the
white balance option in step 1.

B: blue; A: amber; M: magenta; G: green

One level of blue/amber correction is equivalent to about 5
mireds on a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Color
temperature unit representing color temperature conversion filter
density)

You can also configure this setting by choosing MENU (= 32)
> [

4] tab > [WB Correction].

You can also choose the correction level by touching or dragging
the bar in step 1 or the frame in step 2.

You can also access the screen in step 2 by touching [

] in

step 1.

Shots in step 1 that are too bright or dark may prevent you from
setting the white balance correctly.

A message is displayed if you specify an image in step 3 that is
not suitable for loading white data. Choose [Cancel] to choose a
different image. Choose [OK] to use that image for loading white
data, but note that it may not produce a suitable white balance.

If [Unselectable image.] is displayed in step 3, choose [OK] to
clear the message and specify another image.

If [Set WB to “

”] is displayed in step 3, press the [ ] button to

return to the menu screen, and then choose [

].

Instead of a white object, a gray chart or 18% gray reflector
(commercially available) can produce a more accurate white
balance.

The current white balance and related settings are disregarded
when you shoot in step 1.
