On the register-selection screen use the
left/right keys of the controller (2) to
select the custom white-balance register
in which to store the setting; any
previous setting is replaced. Press the
central button of the controller (3) to
complete the operation. The menu
button cancels the operation without
saving the setting.
If an error occurs during calibration, a message appears on the monitors. Press the
controller to cancel the message and press the menu button to cancel the register-
selection screen; the custom white-balance indicator will be yellow to indicate the error.
Recalibrate using a suitable reference target. A calibration error may occur under
extremely bright light sources, especially with flash units. Use a gray card as the
calibration target to reduce the intensity of the illumination.
Shooting tips
When making the calibration, the color of the object used is critical. The object should be white.
A colored object will cause the calibration to compensate for the object color rather than the color
temperature of the ambient light. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily
be carried in a camera bag.
