Manual White Balance

If you select the Manual option, the

Manual White Balance screen

displays. The Live View portion of

the screen shows the color tint from

the previous Manual White Balance

setting that was made.

To change the Manual White Balance setting:
1. Point the camera at a white or gray target (such as a

piece of paper), making sure that the entire screen

encompasses the white or gray target.

2. Press the Shutter button (the camera will not take a

picture). The camera then calculates a custom White

Balance setting based on the full frame capture. During

the calculation, PROCESSING... is displayed on the

screen. When the calculation is complete, the color tint in

Live View changes to match the new Manual White

Balance setting, and WHITE BALANCE SET is displayed.

3. If needed, repeat steps 1 and 2 until you get the desired

Manual White Balance setting.

4. When you are satisfied with the Manual setting you have

made, press the

button to exit the Manual White

Balance screen and return to the Capture Menu.

TIP: To restore the previous Manual White Balance setting,

simply press the

button without pressing the Shutter

button.
