2 White Balance CorrectionN
102
With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be
recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white
balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or
magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White
balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.
Set the white balance bracketing
amount.
In step 2 for white balance correction, when
you turn the <6> dial, the “ ” mark on
the screen will change to “ ” (3 points).
Turning the dial to the right sets the B/
A bracketing, and turning it to the left
sets the M/G bracketing.
X On the right, “Bracket” indicates the
bracketing direction and correction
amount.
Pressing the <B> button will cancel
all the [WB Shift/BKT] settings.
Press <0> to exit the setting and
return to the menu.
Bracketing Sequence
The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.
White Balance Auto Bracketing
B/A bias ±3 levels
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be
lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the
normal number.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to
record the shot.
“BKT” stands for Bracketing.
