Setting a Custom White Balance

You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for the
shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate an object, such as a
piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to
establish as the standard white color.
Especially in the following cases, as the white balance may not be adjusted
in (Auto), shoot after reading the white balance data in
• 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)
