Konica Minolta Z5 Custom White Balance

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	Drive mode
of the movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode	Image size	Cust.set
menus (p. 44); the custom white-balance calibration	Quality	CustRecall
screen opens.

button of the controller to make the calibration or
press the menu button to cancel the routine.

balance setting. The custom setting will remain in
effect until another calibration is made or the white-
balance setting is changed.		:enter
