has a feature that corrects this color shift to create a more uniform image.
There are three methods for controlling the strength of this correction.
Method one: Auto—(see
) This method automatically
determines the correction strength for each image based on analysis of the
image data. This feature works with most lenses and may be the only
method you ever need to use. When the camera is in Auto, all of the work is
done for you.
NOTE: The Auto method is recommended if your images are not showing
image data. This feature works with most lenses and may be the only
method you ever need to use. When the camera is in Auto, all of the work is

NOTE: The Auto method is recommended if your images are not showing

Method three: Lens Selection—(see
) This method
determines the correction strength by selecting the specific lens you are
using. Since the camera cannot uniquely identify every lens attached, you
must select the lens from a list. Your camera contains a master list of
commonly used, current model lenses from several manufacturers. You
can easily add additional lenses to the master list. There is a conveniently
accessible user list for the lenses you use most often. The camera can
usually automatically identify and select the current lens if it is in the user
list. It is easy to maintain this list by adding and removing lenses.
