One-touch white balance
Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under 
the lighting that will be used in the fi nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a 
subject under natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color 
temperatures.

INFO button.
Photograph a piece of colorless (white or gray) paper.
Frame the object so that it fi lls the display and no shadows fall it.
The one-touch white balance screen appears.
Select [Yes] and press 
Q.
The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.
The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the 
power off does not erase the data.
