The plain, white object should fill the

center spot metering circle.

Set the lens focus mode switch to <g>, then focus manually. (p.86) Shoot the white object so that a standard exposure (gray) is obtained. If it is underexposed or overexposed, a correct white balance setting might not be obtained.

XThe Custom WB data will be registered in the camera. When it is completed, a message will appear on the screen.

A Custom WB data can also be registered as follows:

1.Press the <B> button and turn the <5> dial to select <O>. (p.63)

2.Then turn the <6> dial to select the No. under which the Custom WB is to be registered.

3.Press the <A> button.

→[ * ] will blink on the rear LCD panel.

4.Follow step 4 above to photograph a solid-white object.

→The Custom WB will be registered under the selected No. and a completion message will appear on the screen.

When a picture is taken, the registered Custom white balance will be applied. (This registration method does not require the “Selecting and Shooting with the Custom WB data” step on page 67.)

If [Correct WB may not be obtained with the selected image] is displayed in step 4, go back to step 1 and try again.

The captured image will not be recorded to the memory card.
