Color and Continuous Shooting
• The camera will retain white balance correction levels even if you
switch to another white balance option in step 1, but correction levels
will be reset if you record custom white balance data.
• B: blue; A: amber; M: magenta; G: green
• One level of blue/amber correction is equivalent to about 7 mireds on a color
temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Color temperature unit representing color
temperature conversion filter density)
• You can customize camera operation so that the B and A adjustment screen
can be accessed simply by turning the z dial (p. 129).
