3 White Balance CorrectionN
With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance
setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green
bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White balance
bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.
Set the white balance bracketing
amount.
In step 2 for white balance correction,
when you turn the <
6
> dial, the “ ”
mark on the screen will change to “ ”
(3 points). Turning the <
6
> dial to the
right sets the B/A bracketing, and turning
it to the left sets the M/G bracketing.
X
On the right side of the screen, “
BKT
”
indicates the bracketing direction and the
bracketing amount is also displayed.
Pressing the <
B
> button will cancel
all the [
WB SHIFT/BKT
] settings.
Press <0> to exit the setting and
return to the menu.
Bracketing Sequence
The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, 3. Green (G) bias.

During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower
and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the normal
number. If the [
7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)
] menu’s [
High ISO speed
noise reduction
] (p.155) is set to [
1: On
], WB bracketing will not be possible.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to
record the shot.
“BKT” stands for Bracketing.
