Gray Card (pipette)

This metering variant captures all color hues in the metering field
and uses these to calculate a mean gray value. The variant
is suited best for subjects in which you can clearly identify a
card
neutral gray or pure white area. If that is not the case, or should you
wish to base your metering on an off-center detail, then
will be a better choice.

Note
• A value configured using this method will remain unchanged (i.e.
it will be used for all subsequent photographs) until new mea-
surements are taken or one of the other white balance settings
is selected.
