2 Select <P>.

Turn the <5> dial to select <P>.

3 Set the desired color temperature.

Turn the <6> dial to set the color temperature.

The color temperature can be set from 2500K to 10000K in 100K increments.

When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.

If you want to set <P> to the reading taken with a commercially- available color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter’s reading and the camera’s color temperature reading.

You can also use the [1White balance] menu to set the white balance.
