Press the 4 button.
The camera is ready to take a picture.
• The camera automatically performs fine-tuning even when the light source is
specified. The color temperature of the light source is fixed when [10. WB
Adjustable Range] is set to [Fixed] in the [A Custom Setting 2] menu.
• Because the light source changes when a flash discharges, you can set the
white balance for when the flash discharges. Select [Auto White Balance],
[Unchanged] or [Flash] in [11. WB When Using Flash] of the [A Custom
Setting 2] menu.
