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 (Macro)
• Shooting subjects of monotone color (such as sky, sea or forest)
• Shooting with a particular source of light (such as a mercury-vapor lamp)
