A calibration error may occur under extremely bright light
sources, especially with flash units. If an error occurs, a
message appears on the monitor and the white-balance
indicator is yellow. Highlight the return button and press the
center of the controller. Recalibrate using a gray card as a
reference target to reduce the intensity of the illumination.
White balance can be set to a known color temperature of a
light source or set to the color temperature determined by a
color meter.
With the white balance dial in the K position, press the white-
balance button to open the setting screen.
The front control dial or the left/right controller keys adjust the
color temperature in thousands of degrees. The rear control
dial or the up/down controller keys adjust the color
temperature in hundreds of degrees.
Press the central controller button to complete the operation.
For information on light sources, see page 81.
Color Temperature

Color temperature refers to the color of the light emitted from a blackbody radiator at a specif-
ic temperature given in degrees Kelvin. This is an accurate way of measuring light from contin-
uous-spectrum sources such as the sun and incandescent or tungsten light bulbs. However,
color temperature can be inaccurate with discontinuous-spectrum sources such as fluorescent
and mercury vapor.
