CLICK

Allows you to provide color balancing data by clicking on a

 

white or light gray area of a thumbnail or a preview. CLICK is

 

always the preferred option. After choosing CLICK, the mouse

 

pointer becomes a crosshair. Click on a white or light gray

 

area of the image (thumbnail or preview) that is not overex-

 

posed. White balance values are calculated based on the

 

point at which you clicked. The values are used for color

 

balancing this and subsequent images you acquire until you

 

change the values by choosing CLICK or another item from

 

the BALANCE popup menu.

 

When using CLICK, we suggest that you view the image you

 

want with PREVIEW, which displays a larger image and there-

 

fore more easily allows you to find a white area that is not

 

overexposed. With the image you want displayed in preview

 

mode, and with CLICK chosen from the BALANCE popup menu,

 

move the crosshair cursor to a white or light gray area. Move

 

the cursor to a spot on the image where each of the red (R),

 

green (G), or blue (B) color values displayed below the

 

image are as high as possible, but lower than 255. After you

 

click, you view the result of the change on the preview

 

image.

 

NOTES: When you click, you may see the message: “ONE OF THE

 

COLORS IS SATURATED. PLEASE PICK ANOTHER POINT FOR BALANCING.” As

 

prompted, click on another point.

 

If you are in thumbnail mode the crosshair cursor changes back to

 

a pointer after one click; however, if you are in preview mode the

 

cursor stays as a crosshair. Working in preview mode allows you to

 

repeatedly use this option without the need to choose CLICK from

 

the BALANCE menu after each click.

 

If there is no white or light gray area in the image, take a photo-
