Setting the White Balance (continued)•Some settings are not available with certain Shooting modes. Please refer to Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 208).
•To set and use a custom white balance setting, it is advisable to select the 
shooting mode and set the exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation to zero (±0). The correct white balance may not be obtained when the exposure is incorrect (image is completely black or white).
•It is also advisable to use the LCD monitor to compose the shot and to zoom in to the maximum telephoto setting. Also, the digital zoom should be set to [Off].
•Since the white balance data cannot be read in
mode, preset the white
balance in another shooting mode first before selecting
mode.
•Shoot with the same settings as when reading the white balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal white balance may not be set.
Especially the following should not be changed.
–Flash

the white balance data with the flash set to 
or
, make sure that you also use the flash when you shoot.
–ISO Speed
