Custom White Balance

Custom white-balance allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting or when critical control over color is needed. The object used to make a calibration must be neutral. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily be carried in a camera bag.

To calibrate the camera, select custom setup
(Cust.set) from the white balance option in section 1

of the movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode
