Choose h to adjust white
balance for unusual lighting
conditions. The options at
right will be displayed; frame
a white object so that it lls
the monitor and press the shutter button all the
way down to measure white balance.
If “COMPLETED!” is displayed, press MENU/OK to set
white balance to the measured value. This value
can be reselected by pressing MENU/OK when cus-
tom white balance options are displayed.
If “UNDER” is displayed, raise exposure compensa-
tion (pg. 33) and try again.
If “OVER” is displayed, lower exposure compensa-
tion and try again.
2 Tip
To give a deliberate color cast to your photographs,
measure a value for custom white balance using a col-
ored instead of a white object.
