Custom white-balance allows a photographer to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting
condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is espe-
cially useful with mixed-lighting conditions or when critical control over color is needed.
The object used to make a calibration must be neutral. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal sur-
face and can easily be carried in a camera bag.
To calibrate the camera, select custom set from the white balance option in the basic section of the
multi-function recording mode menu; the custom white-balance calibration screen will open.
Fill the image area with a white object; the object does not need to be in focus. Press the central but-
ton of the controller to make the calibration or press the menu button
to cancel the routine. The live view will show the effect of the new
white balance setting.
The custom setting will remain in effect until another calibration is
made or the white-balance setting is changed. If the custom white-
balance setting is required again, select custom recall from the
white-balance option of the menu; the last custom white-balance
setting will be applied to the camera. The same custom white-bal-
ance setting is made and accessed from both the multi-function
recording mode and the movie mode.
