zYou are recommended to set the shooting mode to and
the exposure compensation setting to zero (±0) before setting
a custom white balance. The correct white balance may not
be obtained when the exposure setting is incorrect (image
appears completely black or white).
zShoot with the same settings as when reading the white
balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal white balance
may not be set. In particular, the following should not be
changed.
-ISO Speed
-Flash: Setting the flash to on or off is recommended. If the
flash fires when reading the white balance data with the
flash set to Auto or Auto with Red- Eye Reduction, make
sure that you also use the flash when you shoot.
zSince the white balance data cannot be read in Stitch Assist
mode, preset the white balance in another shooting mode
beforehand.
zThe camera will retain the custom white balance setting that
you record even if you reset the camera to the default settings
(p. 34).
