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.
