Shooting
You are recommended to set the shooting m ode to
and the exposure compensation setting to [±0]
before setting a custom white balance.
The correct white balance may not be obtained
when the exposure set ting is incorrect (image
appears completely black or white).
Shoot with the same settings as w hen reading the
white balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal
white balance may no t be set.
In particular, the following should not be changed.
-ISO Speed
-Flash
Setting the flash to on or off is recommended. If
the flash fires when reading the white balance
data with the flash set to (Auto) or (Auto
Red-eye Reduction), make sure that you also use
the flash when you shoot.
Since the white balance data cannot be read in
Stitch Assist mode, prese t the white balance in
another shooting mode beforehand.
The camera will retain the custom white balance
setting that you record even if you reset the camera
to the default settings (p. 31).
