Turn the focus mode selector switch to “M” (Manual

focus) and set the focus manually.

Set the exposure mode to “P”, “S” or “A”.

●

The camera’s auto focus function may be unable to focus on

a subject such as a white sheet of paper, which will prevent

the shutter from operating.

●

While a custom white balance can also be measured in “M”

mode, the image may be extremely overexposed or

underexposed so that the optimum measurement is not

taken.

Hold up a page of white paper or a similar object

under the target light source so that the paper

fills the viewfinder screen. Then press the shutter

button to set the custom white balance.

Press the “MENU/OK” button to confirm the setting.

Selects the color space used when pictures are

taken. For normal photography, select sRGB.

Adobe RGB (1998) is best for images to be used

for commercial printing.

WIDE: Allows photography using a wide dynamic

range that takes advantage of the particular

characteristics of the Super CCD SR II. The

continuous shooting speed and interval are

slower than for standard mode (roughly

double), so the number of continuous shots

available roughly half.

STANDARD: The dynamic range is 100%, as on

the previous digital camera (FinePix

S2 Pro), but the continuous shooting

speed and the number of continuous

shots available are increased for

easier shooting.

After taking the picture, check the color tones (white balance)

in the image.

iSelect “PREVIEW” as the photographed image display

option (➡P.103) in the SET-UP screen.

iPress the “PLAY” button (➡P.43).

When you have finished setting the white balance, select the

focus mode you want to use.

■When the exposure is not measured correctly

Remedy

The subject is too bright. Use a negative (–) exposure compensation value and set the

white balance again.

The subject is too dark. Use a positive (+) exposure compensation value and set the white

balance again.

Because the exposure is outside the range of valid custom white balance settings, the

maximum (or minimum) value has been set.

hAvailable custom WB settings: Color temperatures of approx. 2800 K to 9500 K

◆Matching customized white balance using an external flash ◆

If you use an external flash with the exposure mode set to “M”, you can make it easier to match the

white balance to the photography settings (aperture, flash brightness, etc.) by using a commercially

available 18% grey standard chart instead of white paper.
