3Custom White BalanceN
¡ If the exposure obtained in step 3 is underexposed or overexposed, a correct white balance might not be obtained.
¡If an image was captured while the processing parameter was set to [B/ W] (p.59), it cannot be selected in step 5.
Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance.
3Setting the Color TemperatureN
You can numerically set the white balance’s color temperature.
1 Press the <E> button. (9)
2 Select the color temperature.
¡ Look at the LCD panel and turn the
<5> dial to select <P>.
3 Select [Color temp.].
¡ Turn the <5> dial to select [z Color temp.], then press <0>.
4 Set the color temperature. ¡ Turn the <5> dial to select the
desired color temperature, then press <0>.
¡ The color temperature can be set from 2800K to 10000K in 100K increments.
¡ When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green bias) as necessary.
¡If you want to set <P> to the reading taken with a 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.
