f Preset White Balance
Preset white balance is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light
sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a
lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light).
1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that
will be used during shooting.
2 Use the rotary multi selector to choose
[White bal. preset] in the white balance
menu, and press d.
The camera zooms in.
3 Choose [Measure].
To apply the most recently measured value for preset
white balance, choose [Cancel] and press d.
4 Frame the reference object.
5 Press d.
The shutter is released and the new white balance value is set.
No pictures are recorded.
k Note 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 preset white balance for when the flash is used.
