White Balance

Preset White Balance

Preset white balance is used when shooting under
mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with
a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures tak-
en under a lamp with a red shade look as though they
had been taken under white light). When n (White
bal. preset) is selected from the white-balance
menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown
at right will be displayed in the monitor.

Recalls the most recent value for preset white balance from memory and
Cancel
sets white balance to this value.
To measure a new value for white balance, place a gray object, such as a
piece of cardboard, under the lighting that will be used in the final picture.
Frame this object so that it fills the square in the center of the menu shown
Measure
above. Highlight Measure and press the center of the multi selector to
measure a new value for white balance (shutter will be released and cam-
era will return to original zoom position, but no picture will be recorded).

itor.
