When
you
select
the
custom
white
balance
[r:--.-L1
SET]:
- Make the white balance adjustment
in
a place
with sufficient light.
- Set [D.ZOOM] to
[lim OFF] (QJ 39).
- Readjust the white balance if the lighting
conditions change.
- Very rarely and depending on the light source,
t'~L1
may keep on flashing instead
of
staying on.
Even
in
that case, the white balance would be
properly adjusted and the results should be
better than with
[AWB
AUTO].
• Custom white balance may provide better
results
in
the following cases:
- Changing lighting conditions
- Close-ups
- Subjects
in
a single color (sky, sea or forest)
- Under mercury lamps and certain types of
fluorescent lights
• Depending on the type
of
fluorescent light,
optimal color balance may not be obtained with
[~
FLUORESCENT] or
[~
FLUORESCENT
H]. If the color looks unnatural, adjust it using
[A'*ll
AUTO]
or
[lO>.-""
SET].
