Custom white-balance allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. The set-

ting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-light-

ing or when critical control over color is needed. The object used to make a calibration must be

neutral. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily be carried in a camera bag.

Custom White Balance

To calibrate the camera, select custom setup (Cust.set)

from the white balance option in section 1 of the movie,

and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus (p. 44); the cus-

tom white-balance calibration screen opens.

Fill the image area with a white object; the object does not

need to be in focus. Press the central button of the con-

troller to make the calibration or press the menu button to

cancel the routine.

The live view shows the effect of the new white balance

setting. The custom setting will remain in effect until anoth-

er calibration is made or the white-balance setting is

changed.

If the custom white-balance setting is required again, select custom

recall from the white-balance option of the menu; the last custom

white-balance setting will be applied to the camera. The same cus-

tom white-balance setting is made and accessed from the movie, P,

A, S, and M exposure modes.
