NOTE
•When “Auto” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment impossible. If this happens, select the white balance setting that matches you shooting conditions (Daylight, Overcast, etc.)
•You can use the key customization feature to configure the [W] and [X] buttons so they control the white balance setting (page 145).
•To select “Auto” with the control key (when the control key is configured to select the auto white balance setting), scroll through the settings until “ AWB ” appears on the monitor screen.
