Changes since version 2.0.3
•
White Balance user interaction has changed
Both the in-camera Custom White Balance and the new Custom White Balance options can be accessed
directly from the White Balance button. To select Custom White Balance, press and hold the White Balance
button while rotating the QCD (Quick Control Dial) until there are no icons visible in the White Balance box
on the lower rear Status LCD. This indicates you are in the Custom White Balance mode. When in the
Custom White Balance mode, pressing and releasing the White Balance button displays the “Use image?”
screen. This screen will allow you to apply Custom White Balance of a subject (often a 18% Grey card).
Choosing the option button on this screen will allow the user to load a Host Software White Balance file
from a storage card into the camera’s memory. The camera’s memory will hold up to 10 White Balance files
created with DCS Host Software allowing the user to select among them until the user deletes them from the
camera’s memory. Please refer to the Host software user manual PDF file for further information on creating
Custom White Balance files to the Kodak DCS cameras.
