•If you pressed the shutter button at Step 4, the white balance mode will reappear after the shot, allowing you to change the setting for the next shot.

•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 desirable to use the LCD monitor to compose the shot and to zoom in to the maximum telephoto setting.

• Since the white data cannot be read in the

mode, pre-set the white balance in

another shooting mode first before selecting the

mode.

•If the flash fires when setting a custom white balance with the flash set to auto or red-eye reduction auto, use the flash when you go to shoot too. The correct white balance cannot be obtained unless the flash is used consistently. To ensure consistency, set the flash to on or off as appropriate.

•The selected custom white balance setting will be memorized even when the camera’s power is turned off.
