Setting the one-touch white balance

This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than preset WB can
provide. Point the camera at a sheet of white paper under the light source you want to use to
determine the white balance. The optimum white balance for the current shooting conditions
can be saved in the camera. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as
well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.
Assign [V] to any of the Fn button, P button or the  (preview) button in [BUTTON
FUNCTION] in advance.(gP. 106)
1
Point the camera at a sheet of white paper.
• Position the paper so that it fills the viewfinder. Make sure there are no shadows.
2
While holding down the button to which [V] is assigned, press the shutter
button.
• The one-touch white balance screen appears.
3
Select between [] to [] and press the i button.
• The white balance is registered.
• The registered white balance will be stored in the camera as a preset WB setting. Turning the
power off does not erase the data.
• Alternatively, press the WB button to select between [] to [], then press the F button
to register the white balance.
TIPS
After pressing the shutter button, [WB NG RETRY] is displayed:
j When there is not enough white in the image, or when the image is too bright, too dark or the
colors look unnatural, you cannot register the white balance. Change the aperture and shutter
speed settings, then repeat the procedure from Step 1.

WB bracketing

Three images with different white balances (adjusted in specified color directions) are
automatically created from one shot. One image has the specified white balance, while the
others are the same image adjusted in different color directions.
