SETTING A CUSTOM WHITE BALANCE
For more precise control of the white balance setting or when photographing under unusual lighting conditions, the "Set Custom WB" option can be used to capture a sample of neutral object in a scene to be used for color correction.
1
Press the 
button to open [
Shooting Menu].
2
Use the 
buttons to select [White Balance] and press the 
button.
3
Select [Custom] mode by using the 
buttons and press the 
button.
4
Under the lighting conditions that will be used for the final photograph, frame a white color object, such as a sheet of white paper or a white wall, so that it fills the center focusing point on the color LCD monitor, and then press the shutter button.
5
If a valid white balance settings was captured, a message “White balance image captured successfully” will appear on the color LCD monitor that the white balance image was captured successfully.
If the capture was not successful, “Failed ! Please retry the custom WB capture.” will be displayed on the color LCD monitor. Repeat step 4 to capture a valid white balance setting or press the 
button to dismiss the dialog.
TIP
ξWhen a custom white balance setting is successfully captured, "Custom" will automatically become the selected item in the White Balance menu.
