Using the Custom White Balance
You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for
the shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate an object,
such as a piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card
that you wish to establish as the standard white color.
In particular, take a (Custom 1) or (Custom 2) white balance
reading for the following situations that are difficult for the (Auto)
setting to detect correctly.
• Shooting close-ups (Macro)
• Shooting subjects of monotone color (such as sky, sea or forest)
• Shooting with a particular source of light (such as a mercury-vapor
lamp)
