If lighting is too dark or too bright, or if some types of artifi cial lighting
are used when measuring white balance using the ambient light sensor,
the camera may be unable to measure white balance. A fl ashing
will appear in the control panels and viewfi nder for about three seconds.
Return to Step 3 and measure white balance again. If the camera is un-
able to measure white balance using the ambient light sensor, try mea-
suring white balance using a neutral gray or white reference object.
Top control panel
The new value for white balance will be stored in
preset d-0, automatically replacing the previous
value for this preset (no confi rmation dialog will
be displayed). If white balance was set using a
reference object, a thumbnail will be displayed in
the preset white balance list. Presets measured
using the ambient light sensor are marked by a
icon.
To use the new value for white balance, select preset d-0 (if no value has
been measured for white balance before d-0 is selected, white balance
will be set to a color temperature of 5,200 K, the same as Direct sun-
light). The new white balance value will remain in preset d-0 until white
balance is measured again. By copying preset d-0 to one of the other
presets before measuring a new value for white balance, up to fi ve white
balance values can be stored (
