White Balance Correction
You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter.
White Balance Correction
-
Select [ : WB Shift/Bkt.].
-
Set the white balance correction.
Sample setting: A2, G1
- Use
 to move the “â ” mark on the screen to your preferred position.
- B is for blue, A for amber, M for magenta, and G for green. White balance is corrected in the direction you move the mark.
- On the right of the screen, [Shift] indicates the direction and correction amount, respectively.
- Pressing the
 button will cancel all the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.
- Press
 to exit the setting.
Note
- One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Unit of measure for color temperature used to indicate values such as the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)
White Balance Auto Bracketing
White balance bracketing enables you to capture three images at once with different color tones.
Setting the white balance bracketing amount
-
In step 2 for White Balance Correction, when you turn the  dial, the “â ” mark on the screen will change to “â â â ” (3 points).
Turning the dial clockwise sets the B/A bracketing, and turning it counterclockwise sets the M/G bracketing.
B/A bias ±3 levels
- On the right of the screen, [Bracket] indicates the bracketing direction and correction amount.
- Pressing the button will cancel all the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.
- Press to exit the setting.
Caution
- During white balance bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower.
- Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the image to the card.
Note
- 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.
- 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.
- The white balance icon blinks to indicate that white balance bracketing has been set.
- You can change the bracketing sequence () and number of shots () for the white balance bracketing.
- Bracket stands for bracketing.
