NOTE
• When "Auto" is selected for the white balance
setting, the camera automatically determines the
white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and
light source conditions can cause problems when the
camera tries to determine the white point, which
makes proper white balance adjustment impossible.
When this happens, use daylight, cloudy, or one of
the other fixed white balance settings to specify the
type of lighting available.
• You can use the key customization feature (page
110) to configure the camera so the white balance
setting changes whenever you press [ ] or [ ] while
in the REC mode.
• If you have key customization configured to control
white balance and you have Icon Help turned on

Note that you must perform manual white balance under
the same conditions you will be shooting under. Have a
sheet of white paper on hand before starting the following
procedure.
