zYou are recommended to set the shooting mode 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 setting is incorrect (image appears completely black or white).

zShoot with the same settings as when reading the white balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal white balance may not 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], make sure that you also use the flash when you shoot.

zSince the white balance data cannot be read in Stitch Assist mode, preset the white balance in another shooting mode beforehand.

zWhite balance data is retained even if the camera's power is turned off.
