WB is to be registered.

When a picture is taken, the registered Custom white balance will be
applied.
If the exposure of the picture differs greatly from the standard exposure,
a correct white balance might not be obtained. If [Correct WB may not
be obtained with the selected image] is displayed in step 4, go back to
step 1 and try again.
The image captured in step 4 will not be recorded to the card.
Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can
produce a more accurate white balance.
