When making the calibration, the color of the object used is critical. The object should be white.
A colored object will cause the calibration to compensate for the object color rather than the color
temperature of the ambient light. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily
be carried in a camera bag.

If an error occurs during calibration, a message appears on the monitors. Press the
controller to cancel the message and press the menu button to cancel the register-
selection screen; the custom white-balance indicator will be yellow to indicate the error.
Recalibrate using a suitable reference target. A calibration error may occur under
extremely bright light sources, especially with flash units. Use a gray card as the
calibration target to reduce the intensity of the illumination.
