Remember to re-set to AUTO once you have finished your set
otherwise subsequent scenes may have an unwelcome colour
cast to them.
CUSTOM WHITE BALANCE
There are times when the automatic white balance setting cannot
accurately decide which correction to apply. This commonly
occurs in areas of mixed lighting temperatures such as where
video lights, candles and diffused daylight may be present such
as in a marquee. In cases such as these you can apply a custom
white balance setting within a few seconds.
First, set the Fn button to CUSTOM WHITE
BALANCE measurement mode. (UMPg99)
Fill the frame with a sheet of white paper (or use a
white table cloth or similar object) while it is
illuminated by the light source in which shooting will
take place.
Hold down the FN button and press the shutter
button.
The WB screen will appear on the super control
panel.
Select a memory position for the reading (you can
save up to 4 different settings)
Press OK and the data will be saved.
When you turn off the power, the information saved to the
particular memory (1, 2, 3 or 4) is not erased. This makes it
possible to quickly call-up the setting if you return to the location,
such as a floodlit sports stadium that you often visit or a
particular modelling runway.
