Using Preset Manual
Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong
color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance settings like
Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images shot under a lamp with a red shade
look as though they had been shot under white light).
Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting used during
shooting.
1 Prepare a white or gray-colored subject and place it under the lighting
that will be used when shooting.
2 Display the shooting menu (A 48), use the
multi selector to select b Preset manual in
the White balance menu, and press the k
button.
• The camera zooms in to the position for measuring white
balance.
3 Select Measure.
• To apply the most recently measured white balance value,
select Cancel and press the k button. The white balance
setting will not be measured again and the most recently
measured value will be set.
