II Measuring a Value for Preset White Balance

Light a reference object.
Place a neutral gray or white object under the lighting that will be used in the
final photograph. In studio settings, a standard gray panel can be used as a
reference object. Note that exposure is automatically increased by 1 EV when
measuring white balance; in exposure mode M, adjust exposure so that the
electronic analog exposure displays shows ±O (pg. 84).
2
Set white balance to
PRE
(Preset manual).
Press the WB button and rotate the main command dial until

is displayed in
the control panel.
