When making the calibration, the color of the object used is critical. The object should be white.
A colored object will cause the calibration to compensate for the object color rather than the
color temperature of the ambient light. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can
easily be carried in a camera bag.

On the register-selection screen use the
left/right keys of the controller (2) to select the
custom white-balance register in which to
store the setting; any previous setting is
replaced. Press the central button of the
controller (3) to complete the operation. The
menu button cancels the operation without
saving the setting.

If an error occurs during calibration, a message appears on the monitors. Press the controller to
cancel the message and press the menu button to cancel the register-selection screen; the custom
white-balance indicator will be yellow to indicate the error. Recalibrate using a suitable reference
target. A calibration error may occur under extremely bright light sources, especially with flash units.
Use a gray card as the calibration target to reduce the intensity of the illumination.
