White Balance Auto Bracketing

With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

Set the white balance bracketing amount.

In step 2 for white balance correction,
when you turn the <6> dial, the “ ”
mark on the screen will change to
“	” (3 points). Turning the dial to the

B/A bias ±3 levels	right sets the B/A bracketing, and turning
	it to the left sets the M/G bracketing.
	X On the right, “Bracket” indicates the
	bracketing direction and correction
	amount.
	Pressing the <L> button will cancel
	all the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.
	Press <0> to exit the setting and
	return to the menu.

Bracketing Sequence

The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.

During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to approx. one-third the normal number.

You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot. Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the shot to the card.

“BKT” stands for bracketing.
