4 Press the Å button.
• The
Å
A or
Å
B icon will flash quickly.
• Make sure the gray card or white object fills the screen until the procedure is completed.
• Once the icon stops flashing, the procedure is completed. The setting is retained even if you turn off the
camera.
• The selected color temperature/color compensation (CC) value will be set and will appear on the screen
next to the white balance icon.
NOTES NOTES
• Readjust the custom white balance if the light source or ND filter setting changes.
• Very rarely and depending on the light source,
Å
may keep flashing (it will change to a slow flashing). The
result will still be better than with the auto white balance.
• After the camera registers a custom white balance the color temperature or CC value may appear in gray. This
indicates that the value registered exceeds the range of values that can be displayed but the white balance is
correctly calibrated and you can continue shooting.
