 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. Use this option to fi ne-tune
white balance when you fi nd it hard to obtain the desired results with white balance
compensation or preset white balance options such as 5 (sunlight) or O (overcast).
The camera stores the metered value for quick recall as required.
