•The one-touch white balance screen appears.

•The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.

•The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the power off does not erase the data.

“WB NG RETRY” will be displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from Step 1.
