DAuto Power Off

White balance measurement will end without a new value being acquired if no operations are performed for the time selected for Auto power off in the setup menu (0 151; the default is 30 s).

DPreset White Balance

The camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time; the existing value will be replaced when a new value is measured. Note that exposure is automatically increased by 1 EV when measuring white balance; if M Manual is selected for Exposure mode, adjust exposure so that the exposure indicator shows ±0 (0 111).

AColor Temperature

The perceived color of a light source varies with the viewer and other conditions. Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a light source, defined with reference to the temperature to which an object would have to be heated to radiate light in the same wave- lengths. While light sources with a color temperature in the neighborhood of 5,000–5,500 K appear white, light sources with a lower color temperature, such as incandescent light bulbs, appear slightly yellow or red. Light sources with a higher color temperature appear tinged with blue. The camera white balance options are adapted to the following color temperatures:

• Sodium-vapor lamps: 2,700 K

• H(direct sunlight): 5,200 K

• J(incandescent)/

• N(flash): 5,400 K

Warm-white fluorescent: 3,000 K

• G(cloudy): 6,000 K

• White fluorescent: 3,700 K

• Daylight fluorescent: 6,500 K

• ICool-white fluorescent: 4,200 K

• Mercury-vapor lamps: 7,200 K

• Day white fluorescent: 5,000 K

• M(shade): 8,000 K
