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,	Drive mode
and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus (p. 44); the cus-	Image size			Cust.set

need to be in focus. Press the central button of the con-
troller to make the calibration or press the menu button to
cancel the routine.
The live view shows the effect of the new white balance
setting. The custom setting will remain in effect until anoth-
er calibration is made or the white-balance setting is
changed.
