White Balance Correction
N
With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance
setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/
green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White
balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.
Set the white balance bracketing
amount.
In step 2 for “White Balance Correction”,
when you turn the <
5
> dial, the “ ”
mark on the screen will change to
“ ” (3 points). Turning the dial to the
right sets the B/A bracketing, and turning
it to the left sets the M/G bracketing.

On the right, “

bracketing direction and correction amount.
Pressing the <

all the [

Press <

return to the menu.
Bracketing Sequence
The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.
White Balance Auto Bracketing
B/A bias ±3 levels
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will
be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to approx.
one-third the normal number.
You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white
balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance
bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the shot to the card.
You can change the number of shots for white balance bracketing (p.366).
