White balance — Adjusting the color tone

Exposure, image and color
Setting the one-touch white balance
This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than
preset WB can provide. Point the camera at a sheet of white paper under the
light source you want to use to determine the white balance. The optimum
white balance for the current shooting conditions can be saved in the camera.
This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as well as under
various light sources with different color temperatures.
1 Point the camera at a sheet of
white paper.
• Position the paper so that it fills the
viewfinder. Make sure there are no
shadows.
2 While holding down the V
(one-touch WB) button, press
the shutter button.
• The V screen appears.
3 Press the i button.
• The white balance is registered.
• The registered white balance will be
stored in the camera as a preset
WB setting. Turning the power off
does not erase the data.
TIPS
After pressing the shutter button, [WB NG RETRY] is displayed.
J When there is not enough white in the image, or when the image is too
bright, too dark or the colors look unnatural, you cannot register the white
balance.
Change the aperture and shutter speed settings, then repeat the procedure
from Step 1.
