You can numerically set the white balance' s color temperature.

	1. Select <> for the white balance. Hold down the <WB> button and turn the <> dial to select <>.
	2. Set the color temperature. Hold down the <WB> button and turn the <> dial to set the desired color temperature. Then let go of the button. The color temperature can be set from 2800K to 10000K in 100K increments.

When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.
If you want to set <> to the reading taken with a color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter' s reading and the camera' s color temperature reading.
