White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally, 
the Auto [Q] (Ambience priority) or [Qw] (White priori ty) setting will 
obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be 
obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light 
source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
In Basic Zone modes, [
Q] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In 
the  mode, [Qw] (White priority) is set.)

To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of 
lighting. With a digital camera, the  white for color correction basis is 
decided depending on the color temperature of the illumination, and 
then the color is adjusted with software to make the white areas look 
white. With this function, pictures  with natural color tones can be taken.
With [ Q] (Ambience priority), you can  increase the intensity of the 
image’s warm color cast when shooting a tungsten-light scene. If you 
select [Q w] (White priority), you can reduce the intensity of the 
image’s warm color cast.
If you want to match the Auto white balance of previous EOS camera 
models, select [ Q] (Ambience priority).
1Select [White balance].

Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance 
for a specific light source. Make sure to perform this procedure under 
the light source at the actual location of the shoot.
1Shoot a white object.
Look through the viewfinder and aim 
the entire dotted line box (shown in the 
illustration) over a plain, white object.
Focus manually and shoot with the 
standard exposure set for the white 
object.
You can use any white balance setting.

Under the [z2] tab, select [Custom 
White Balance], then press .
The custom white balance selection 
screen will appear.
3Import the white balance data.
Turn the  dial to select the 
image captured in step 1, then press 
<
0>.
On the dialog screen that appears, 
select [
OK] and the data will be 
imported.

Cautions for Setting [ Qw] (White priority)
 The warm color cast of  subjects may fade.
 When multiple light sources are included on the screen, the warm color 
cast of the picture may not be lessened.
 When using flash, the color tone will be the same as [ Q] (Ambience 
priority).

4Select [White balance].
Under the [z2] tab, select [White 
balance], then press .
5Select the custom white balance.
Select [O], then press .
 If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard 
exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained.
 In step 3, the following images cannot be selected: Images captured with 
the Picture Style set to [ Monochrome], images shot with a Creative filter, 
images processed with a Creative filter after shooting, multiple-exposure 
images, cropped images, and images shot with another camera.
 Instead of a white object, a gray chart or 18% gray reflector 
(commercially-available) can produc e a more accurate white balance.
 The personal white balance registered with EOS Utility (EOS software) 
will be registered under [ O]. If you perform step 3, the data for the 
registered personal white balance will be erased.

You can set the white balance’s color temperature numerically. This 
function is for advanced users.
1Select [White balance].
Under the [z2] tab, select [White 
balance], then press .
2Set the color temperature.
Select [P].
Turn the  dial to set the color 
temperature, then press <
0>.The color temperature can be set 
from approx. 2500 K to 10000 K in 
100 K increments.
P  Setting the Color Temperature
 When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white 
balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.
 If you set [ P] to the reading taken with a commercially-available color 
temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate 
for the difference between the color temperature meter’s reading and the 
camera’s color temperature reading.

You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have 
the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature 
conversion filter or color compens ating filter. Each color can be 
corrected to one of nine levels.
This function is for advanced users, particularly for those users who 
understand the use of color temperature conversion and color 
compensating filters and their effects.
1Select [WB Shift/Bkt.].
Under the [z2] tab, select [WB 
Shift/Bkt.], then press .
2Set the white balance correction.
Use  to move the “ ” mark to the 
appropriate position.
B is for blue, A for amber, M for 
magenta, and G for green. The 
image’s color balance will be adjusted 
toward the color in the direction of the 
move.
On the right of the screen, “Shift” 
indicates the direction and correction 
amount, respectively.

With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be 
recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current 
white balance setting, the image wi ll be bracketed with a blue/amber 
bias and magenta/green bias. This function 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  
dial, the “ ” mark on the screen will 
change to “     ” (3 points).
Turning the dial to the right sets the B/
A bracketing, and turning it to the left 
sets the M/G bracketing.
On the right, “Bracket” indicates the 
bracketing direction and correction 
amount.
Pressing the  button will cancel 
all the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.Press  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, and 3. Green (G) bias.
White Balance Auto Bracketing
B/A bias ±3 levels
 During WB bracketing, the maximum bu rst for continuous shooting will 
be lower.
 Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record 
the image on the card.
You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white 
balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance 
bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
You can change the number of shots  for white balance bracketing (p.414).“Bkt.” stands for bracketing.

If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and 
contrast can be corrected automatically . This function is called Auto 
Lighting Optimizer. T he default setting is [
Standard]. With JPEG 
images, the correction is appli ed when the image is captured.
In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically.
1Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer].
Under the [z2] tab, select [Auto 
Lighting Optimizer
], then press 
<
0>.
2Select the setting.
Select the desired setting, then press 
<

3Take the picture.
The image will be recorded with the 
brightness and contrast corrected if 
necessary.
3  Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN
Depending on the shooting conditions, noise may increase.
 If a setting other than [ Disable] is set and y ou use exposure 
compensation or flash exposure compensation to darken the exposure, 
the image may still come out bright.  If you want a darker exposure, set 
this function to [ Disable].
 If HDR mode (p.207), highlight tone priority (p.174), or multiple-exposure 
shooting (p.212) is set, the Auto Lighting Optimizer will be set 
automatically to [ Disable].
In step 2, if you press the < B> button and uncheck [ X] the [ Disabled in 
M or B modes ] setting, the [Auto Lighting Optimizer] can also be set in 
the < a> and < F> modes.
