Select [White balance].

Under the [z3] tab, select [White balance], then press <0>.

Set the color temperature.

Select [P].

Turn the <6> dial to set the color temperature, then press <0>. The color temperature can be set from approx. 2500 K to 10000 K in 100 K increments.

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

If you 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.
