TIP
• When a custom white balance setting is successfully captured, "Custom"
will automatically become the selected item in the White Balance menu.
• It is recommended that an automatic exposure mode such as P , A , or S
be used when capturing a custom white balance setting to ensure proper
exposure.
• It may be necessary to set the lens to manual focus (P.50) when capturing a
custom white balance setting since auto focus may not work properly when
photographing low contrast subjects.
SETTING THE SENSITIVITY （ ISO EQUIVALENCY ）
The photosensitivity of digital cameras is described in terms of “ISO equivalent”
like silver-halide film cameras. (ISO sensitivity P. 11 3)
1
Press the button on the back of the
camera to open the Image Setting Menu.
