exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained.
In step 3, images captured while the Picture Style was set to
[
Monochrome ] (p.92) and images processed with a Creative filter
cannot be selected.
Instead of a white object, a gray chart or 18% gray reflector
(commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance.
The personal white balance registered with EOS Utility (EOS software,
p.319) will be registered under [
O
]. If you perform step 3, the data for
the registered personal white balance will be erased.
