Repeat the procedure by recalibrating using a gray card as a reference target to reduce the intensity of the illumination.

COLOR TEMPERATURE

White balance can be set to a known color temperature of a light source or set to the color temperature determined by a color meter. With the white balance dial in the color temperature (K) position, press the whitebalance button to open the setting screen.

Color temperature

Use the left/right controller keys or control dial to select among thousand K, hundred K, and magenta/green compensation. Use the up/down controller keys to adjust the value.
Color temperature Magenta/Green compensation
Press the central controller button to complete the operation.
Color temperature refers to the color of the light emitted from a blackbody radiator at a specific temperature given in degrees Kelvin. This is an accurate way of measuring light from continuous-spectrum sources such as the sun and incandescent or tungsten light bulbs. However, color temperature alone can be inaccurate with discontinuous-spectrum sources such as fluorescent. The magenta/green compensation scale allows adjustments to compensate for this problem. The increment on the scale is equivalent to approximately 5CC; M3 would be 15CC magenta. For information on light sources, see page 69.

SELECT FOLDER

This option specifies in which folder images are saved. Only folders with a standard folder name can be selected. If the date folder name option is used, images are placed in a folder with the corresponding date of recording. Select folder is in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 98).

NEW FOLDER

This allows the creation of new folders. The folder-name option in section 2 of the setup menu specifies the foldername format. If multiple date-format folders are created, only the last folder can be used for storing images. Highlight Enter and press the center of the controller to create a new folder. The new folder name is displayed briefly. Every time a new folder is created, the folder number increases automatically by one greater than the highest folder number on the memory card.

When menu section memory is off, section 1 of the recording or playback menu is displayed when the menu button is pressed.

DELETE CONFIRMATION

Each time a delete command is used a confirmation screen appears confirming the action to erase the image data. When this screen opens, the no button is highlighted. This function allows the yes button to be initially highlighted to make deleting images easier. Care should be taken when deleting images as the data cannot be retrieved once erased.

Delete? Yes

CLEAN CCD
Only clean the CCD when necessary. Improper cleaning may damage the CCD. Dust can enter the camera body when changing lenses. The camera should have a lens or body cap mounted at all times. Confirm the rear of the lens and cap is free from dust before mounting on the body. Clean the CCD in a dust-free environment.
