!
The camera’s auto focus function may be unable to
focus on a subject such as a white sheet of paper, which
will prevent the shutter from operating.
●
!
While a custom white balance can also be measured in
“M” mode, the image may be extremely overexposed or
underexposed so that the optimum measurement is not
taken.
Hold up a page of white paper or a similar object
under the target light source so that the paper
fills the viewfinder screen. Then press the
shutter button to set the custom white balance.

The white balance setting is not applied to the image on
the screen.
You can deliberately change the white balance
in photographed images by using colored paper
instead of white paper.
