Custom White Balance
● Capturing a white subject that is too bright or dark may prevent you
from setting the white balance correctly.
● A message is displayed on the screen for loading white data if you
choose an unsuitable image. Choose [Cancel] to choose a different
image. Choose [OK] to use that image for loading white data, but note
that it may not produce a suitable white balance.
● If [Unselectable image.] is displayed on the screen for loading white data,
choose [OK] to clear the message, and then choose a different image.
● If [Set WB to " "] is displayed on the screen for loading white
data, press the button to return to the menu screen, and then
choose [ ].
● Instead of a white object, a gray chart or 18% gray reflector
(commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance.
● The current white balance and related settings are disregarded when
you capture a white subject.
Manually Correcting White Balance
● Any correction level you set is retained even if you change the white
balance option.
● On the advanced settings screen for correction, B is for blue, A for
amber, M for magenta, and G for green.
● One level of blue/amber correction is equivalent to about 5 mireds on
a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Color temperature unit
representing color temperature conversion filter density)
● You can also configure the correction level by choosing MENU > [
tab > [WB correction].
● You can also choose the correction level on the correction screen by
touching or dragging the bar, and on the advanced settings screen by
touching or dragging the frame.
● You can access the advanced settings screen by touching [
the correction screen.
Manually Setting White Balance Color Temperature
