Notes
• If the flash is used when the shutter button is pressed, a custom white balance is registered with the flash
light taken into account. Take pictures with the flash in later shootings.
• The message "Custom WB Error" indicates that the value is beyond the expected range, when the flash is
used on a subject in close proximity or a subject with a bright color is in the frame. If you register this
value, the indicator turns yellow on the recording information display. You can shoot at this point,
but it is recommended that you set the white balance again to get a more accurate white balance value.
