Note
• Since most of the color meters are designed for film cameras, using the
measurements obtained from them may not give correct results under fluorescent/
sodium lamp/mercury lamps. We recommend that you perform the compensation
according to a test shooting or use the custom white balance.
In a scene where the ambient light consists of multiple types of light source,
use of custom white balance is recommended in order to accurately
reproduce the whiteness. You can register three settings.
