Taking Photographs—White Balance

Speedlights Connected via a Sync Cable

Auto white balance may not produce the desired results when the AS-15 accessory shoe adapter is used to connect optional Speedlights via a sync cable. Use preset white balance or set white balance to Flash and use fine tuning to adjust white balance.

12—BKT Set (146)

When WB bracketing is selected for Custom Setting 12 (BKT set), the camera will create several images each time the shutter is released. White balance will be varied with each image, “bracketing” the value currently selected for white balance.
