1 Notes
•  At settings other than 

h, auto white balance is used 

with the fl ash.  Lower the fl ash (pg. 27) to take pic-
tures at other settings.

• Results vary with shooting conditions.  Play pictures 

back after shooting to check colors in the monitor.

h: Custom White Balance

Choose 

h to adjust white 

balance for unusual lighting 
conditions.  The options at 
right will be displayed; frame 
a white object so that it fi 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.
