Using the Custom White Balance

You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal 
setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera 
evaluate an object, such as a piece of white paper or cloth, or 
a photo-quality gray card that you wish to establish as the 
standard white color.
In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the 
following situations that are difficult for the 

(Auto) setting 

to detect correctly.
z Shooting close-ups (Macro)
z Shooting subjects of monotone color (such as sky, sea or 

forest)

z Shooting with a particular source of light (such as a 

mercury-vapor lamp)
