Setting the one-touch white balance

V

This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than preset WB can provide. Point the camera at a sheet of white paper under the light source you want to use to determine the white balance. The optimum white balance for the current shooting conditions can be saved in the camera. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

Set [7FUNCTION] to [V] beforehand. (gP. 85)

1 Point the camera at a sheet of white paper.

• Position the paper so that it fills the viewfinder. Make sure there are no shadows.

• The one-touch white balance screen appears.

3 Select [YES] and press the ibutton.

• The white balance is registered.

• The registered white balance will be stored in the camera as a preset WB setting. Turning the power off does not erase the data.
