Customizing Record Mode Power On Set-
tings
A power on setting is one that is set by the camera automati-
cally whenever you turn it on. Normally, the camera uses its
own built-in power on default settings. With the procedure
described here, however, you can tell the camera to save the
camera's current WB (white balance), APERTURE, DIGI-
TAL ZOOM, FLASH, AF/MF/MACRO, and METERING set-
tings in mode memory when it is turned off, and to restore
the setting when power is turned on again. Settings stored in
mode memory override the camera's preset defaults.
The following table shows the items whose settings you can
save in mode memory. Note that the procedure described
here only lets you select ON (save current setting in mode
memory) or OFF (use the camera's preset default setting).
The procedures for changing current settings can be found
on the pages noted in the table.

Performing Manual White Balance
Certain lighting conditions can cause Auto white balance to
take a very long time or can result in a limitation of the ad-
justable range (color temperature). If you suspect your cur-
rent lighting conditions are causing problems, try performing
manual white balance. This sets white balance to a level that
can be used under any lighting conditions.
The following procedure describes how to perform manual
white balance using a white piece of paper. For optimum re-
sults, you should use a special reflective plate that should be
commercially available from a local camera equipment
shop.
