You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance 
setting. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a color 
temperature conversion or color compensating filter. Each color can be 
corrected to one of nine levels. Users familiar with using color temperature 
conversion or color compensating filters will find this feature handy.

 

Turn the <5> dial to select [z WB 
SHIFT/BKT], then press <0>.

The WB correction/WB bracketing 
screen will appear.

 

Use <9> to move the “   ” to the 
desired position on the screen.

 

B is blue, A is amber, M is magenta, 
and G is green. The color in the 
respective direction will be corrected.

 

The upper right of the “SHIFT” screen 
will show the bias direction and 
correction amount.

 

To cancel the white balance correction, 
use <9> to move the “   ” to the 
center so that the “SHIFT” is “0, 0”.

 

Press <0> to exit the setting and 
return to the menu.

 White Balance CorrectionN

Sample setting : A2, G1

 

During the white balance correction, <2> will be displayed in the 
viewfinder and on the LCD panel.

 

One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to 5 mireds of a color 
temperature conversion filter. (Mired: A measurement unit indicating the 
density of a color temperature conversion filter.)

 

You can also set white balance bracketing and AEB shooting in 
combination with white balance correction.

 

If you turn the <5> dial in step 2, WB bracketing will be set. (p.68)
