(See also Navigating the Menu System for details about how to find this setting. ) 2. Use the or button to step through the available white balance settings until the setting you want is shown. Either move on to another setting by using the navigator button or press the menu button to exit the menu system and keep your setting. Alternatively when using an H camera, you can set the USER button to `Grey bal. A test exposure is then taken which selects the central section of the image as the tone which you want to equate with a neutral `white balance'. Please note that white balance settings are for your viewing convenience only. The setting is temporary for preview display reasons and in no way affects the raw file which remains neutral awaiting further processing. Media 1 2 The storage setting controls where your digital back will store new images and which stored images will be visible in the browse window. Often, you have just one type of storage media available--the internal compact-flash card. However, if you have several media attached (e. g. , a card and one or more external disks), then you may need to switch between them. If your selected storage medium has more than one batch (folder) on it, then the batch selected when you use the storage menu entry will be the one you most recently created. To select the medium to which to save new shots and from which to browse previous shots: 1. Use the or button to step through the available media until the name for destination/source you wish to use is shown. Either move on to another setting by using the navigator button, or, press the MENU button to exit the menu system and keep your setting. 3 Note that you can also select media using just the (+) and (-) buttons while browsing images. This method also enables you to select a batch as you zoom in from media to batch to thumbnails to preview. See Navigating Media and Batches for complete details about this method. 72 Browse 1 The browse filter complements the instant-approval system by enabling you to browse through images according to their approval status. You have the following choices: · All: browses all of the images in the current batch, regardless of their approval status. [. . . ] Allow the equipment to acclimatize before assembly.
