Preset Manual
Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with
a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures shot under a lamp with a red
shade look as though they had been shot under white light).
1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be
used during shooting.
2 Use the multi selector to choose [b Preset
manual] in the white balance menu, and press
k.
The camera zooms in.
3 Choose [Measure].
To apply the most recently measured value for preset
manual, choose [Cancel] and press k.
4 Frame the reference object.
5 Press k.
The shutter is released and the new white-balance value is set.
No pictures are recorded.
C Note on Preset Manual
Regardless of the flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when k is pressed in step 5. Therefore,
the camera cannot measure a value for preset manual for when the flash is used.
