Preset White Balance
Preset white balance is used to adjust white balance
when shooting under mixed lighting or to compen-
sate for light sources with a strong color cast (for ex-
ample, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red
shade look as though they had been taken under white
light). When
(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 moni-
tor.

To measure a new value for white balance , place a white object, such
as a piece of paper, 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 above. Highlight Measure and press the multi
selector to the right to measure a new value for preset white bal-
ance (camera will zoom out and shutter will be released, but no
picture will be recorded).
