How to use white balance bracketing on the EOS Digital Rebel XS.

Solution

With just one shot, three images having a different color tone 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 <> 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 side of the screen, "BKT" indicates the bracketing direction and the bracketing amount is also displayed.
  • Press <SET> to exit and return to the menu.
  • To cancel the bracketing, set "BKT" to "+/-0" ("" becomes "" (1 point)).

Bracketing Sequence

Correct white balance, blue (B) bias, and amber (A) bias. Or, correct white balance, magenta (M) bias, and green (G) bias.

  • During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the normal number. Also, the white balance icon will blink on the rear LCD panel.
  • 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, the memory card will take longer to record the shot.
  • "BKT" stands for Bracketing.
