Measuring Preset White Balance
If no operations are performed while the displays are flashing, direct measurement mode
will end when the exposure meters turn off. The auto meter-off delay can be changed using
Custom Setting c2 (Auto off timers; 0 157). The default setting is eight seconds.

Preset White Balance
The camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time; the existing value will
be replaced when a new value is measured. When shooting in mode M, check the exposure
indicator to ensure that the subject is neither under- nor over-exposed (0 85).

Other Methods for Measuring Preset White Balance

the Fn (E) button (0 163) and preset white balance selected by pressing the Fn (E) button
and rotating the command dial, the camera will also enter preset measurement mode if the
Fn (E) button is pressed for a few seconds.
