One-touch white balance

Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting

that will be used in the ﬁ nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural

light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

Choose [P] or [Q] (one-touch white balance 1 or 2).

Point the camera at a colorless sheet of paper (such as white or gray), and

then press the INFO button.

• Frame the object so that it ﬁ lls the display and no shadows fall it.

• The one-touch white balance screen appears.

Select [Yes] and press Q.

• The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.

• The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the

power off does not erase the data.

Tips

• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be

displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from

Step 1.

Setting the image aspect

You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures.

Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3] (standard), [16:9],

[3:2] or [1:1].

Display the live control and select the aspect ratio item using FG.

Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.

Cautions

• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not

cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.

• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.
