will be used during shooting.
2Use the multi selector  to choose [White
bal. preset] in the white balance menu,
and press  d.

To apply the most recently measured value for preset
white balance, choose [Cancel] and press  d.
4Frame the reference object.
5Press  d.
The shutter is released and the new white balance value is set.
No pictures are recorded.
kNote on Preset White Balance
Regardless of the flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when  d is pressed in step 5. There-
fore, the camera cannot measure a value for pres et white balance for when the flash is used.

A Best Shot Selector (BSS)
The “best shot selector” is convenient for shooting in situations where inad-
vertent camera movement can  result in blurred pictures.
At [On] setting, the flash automaticall y turns off and focus, exposure, and
white balance for all pictures are determined by the first picture in each
series.
When BSS is [On], a  A icon appears in the monitor ( c6).
jNote on Best Shot Selector
BSS may not produce the desired results if th e subject moves or the composition changes
while the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.
AOn
Recommended for taking pictures in poorly lit places, or in other situations 
where camera shake may occur. Camera takes shots while shutter-release but-
ton is pressed, to a maximum of ten. These images are then compared and the 
sharpest picture (picture with highest level of detail) is saved.
HOff (default setting)
Only one picture is taken.

W ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher
the sensitivity, the less light needed  to make an exposure. Although a high
ISO rating is suited for taking pictures of  subjects in action or in poor lighting,
high sensitivity is often associated  with “noise” –randomly spaced, brightly
colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.
[Auto] (default setting) is ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is
poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a
maximum of ISO 800. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 1000.
At settings other than [Aut o], the current setting is displayed in the monitor
( c 6). If [Auto] is selected and the sens itivity is raised above an ISO 50, the
W  icon will be displayed ( c6, 29).
d Color Options
Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome.
The effects of the selected option can  be previewed in the monitor. At set-
tings other than [Standard color], the ic on for the current setting is displayed
in the monitor ( c6).
eStandard color (default setting)
Use for pictures exhibiting natural color.
CVivid color
Use to achieve a vivid, “photoprint” effect.
DBlack-and-white
Record pictures in black-and-white.
BSepia
Record pictures in sepia tones.
ACyanotype
Record pictures in cyan-blue monochrome.
