as a piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card that you
wish to establish as the standard white color.

• Aim the camera at the white paper,
cloth or gray card and press the
button.
• Aim the camera so that the white
paper, cloth or gray card completely fills
the frame on the LCD monitor or the
entire viewfinder before pressing the
button. The camera reads the white
balance data when you press the
button.
• A shot can be taken immediately after.
The menu will reappear after the shot,
allowing you to further adjust the
setting.
