Point the camera at a piece of white paper or
other similar object so it completely fills the
monitor screen, and then press the shutter re-
lease button.
• This performs white balance adjustment and returns
to the REC mode screen.
• Pressing without pressing the shutter release
button first restores the setting obtained the last time
you performed manual white balance.
• Dark lighting or pointing the camera at a dark object
can cause manual white balance to take a very long
time to complete. Avoid such conditions when per-
forming manual white balance adjustment.
NOTE
• Even if you turn off the camera or change its white
balance back to “Auto” or another white balance set-
ting, the last value obtained by manual white balance
is retained in memory and restored the next time you
select “Manual” for the white balance. The last value
obtained by manual white balance is retained, regard-
less of the mode memory setting (page E-88).
