Using Preset Manual
The preset manual option 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 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be
used during shooting.
2 Display the shooting menu (A6, 68), use the
multi selector to select 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.
