Using the Custom White Balance

You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate an object, such as a piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to establish as the standard white color.

In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the following situations that are difficult for the (Auto) setting to detect correctly.

Shooting close-ups

Shooting subjects of monotone color (such as sky, sea or forest)

Shooting with a peculiar source of light (such as a mercury-vapor lamp)
