Select direct measurement mode.

Release the U button briefly and then

press the button until the L icon in

the control panel starts to flash. A

flashing D will also appear in the

viewfinder. The displays will flash for

about six seconds.

Measure white balance.

Before the indicators stop flashing, frame the

reference object so that it fills the viewfinder and

press the shutter-release button all the way down. The camera

will measure a value for white balance and store it in the

preset selected in Step 3. No photograph will be recorded;

white balance can be measured accurately even when the

camera is not in focus.

If the current preset is protected (0 161), 3 will flash in the control

panel and viewfinder if you attempt to measure a new value.
