numeral setting in degrees K with the zoom ( – or + )<br />

button.<br />

Alternatively, you can position the central spot in the viewfinder<br />

over an area that you consider should be rendered as<br />

neutral in color in the image (a ‘grey card’ or even a sheet<br />

of white paper is ideal) and make a test capture (ensure the<br />

exposure is approximately correct otherwise you will get a<br />

warning message).<br />

A small rectangle appears on the display marking that particular<br />

area. Calculations then take place automatically so that<br />

the following shots use the area chosen as the new ‘white<br />

balance’ standard. Using this method you can also read off<br />

the screen what the color temperature of the light source has<br />

been judged to be in degrees Kelvin.<br />

4a. Press the MENU button to exit the menu system and keep<br />

your setting.<br />

New settings are retained even when the camera has been<br />

turned off and re-activated, so don’t forget to make new<br />

settings when required.
