White Balance Auto Bracketing

With just one shot, three images having a different color temperature can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the current white balance mode’s standard color temperature, the white balance setting can be changed from 0 to +/–3 stops in whole-stop increments. This is called white balance bracketing. One stop is equivalent to 5 Mireds of a color conversion filter. The bracketing sequence starts with a standard color temperature, bluish tone (decreased compensation), and reddish tone (increased compensation). The images are assigned a file number and recorded in the CF card.
