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

  1. Select [Shooting: WB Shift/Bkt.] (, ).

  2. Set the white balance correction.

    Sample setting: A2, G1

    • Press the Cross keys keys to move the [■] mark on the screen.
    • 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.
    • The direction and amount of correction are indicated in the upper right of the screen.
    • Pressing the AE lock button will cancel all the [Shooting: WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.
    • Press Quick Control/Set 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.

Set the white balance bracketing amount.

  • In step 2 for White Balance Correction, when you turn the Control dial dial, the “■” mark on the screen will change to “■ ■ ■” (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

  • The direction and amount of bracketing are indicated in the upper right of the screen.
  • Pressing the AE lock button will cancel all of the [Shooting: WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.
  • Press Quick Control/Set 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.
  • Bracket stands for bracketing.
