Using the Custom
White
Balance
You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for

by having the camera evaluate an object,
such as a piece of white paper or cloth that you wish to establish as
the standard white color.
In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the following
situations that are difficult for the _
(Auto) setting to detect correctly.
• Shooting close-ups
• Shooting subjects of monotone color (such as sky, sea or forest)
• Shooting with a peculiar source of light (such as a mercury-vapor lamp)
