67B: Setting the White BalanceNYou can set the white balance’s color temperature numerically in Kelvin.This is for advanced users.1 Select [White balance].Under the <2> tab, select [Whitebalance], then press <0>.2 Set the color temperature.Turn the <5> dial to select the [P].Turn the <6> dial to set the colortemperature, then press <0>.The color temperature can be setfrom 2500K to 10000K in 100Kincrements.P Setting the Color TemperatureIf the exposure obtained in step 1 is way off, a correct white balancemight not be obtained.If the image was captured while the Picture Style was set to[Monochrome] (p.60), it cannot be selected in step 3.Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) canproduce a more accurate white balance.The personal white balance registered with the provided software will beregistered under <O>. If you do step 3, the data for the registeredpersonal white balance will be erased.When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set whitebalance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.If you want to set <P> to the reading taken with a commercially-available color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the settingto compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter’sreading and the camera’s color temperature reading.COPY
