D Measuring Preset White Balance
If no operations are performed while the displays are flashing, direct measurement mode
will end when the exposure meters turn off.
The auto meter-off delay can be changed using
the Auto off timers option in the setup menu (0 130).
The default setting is eight seconds.
D Preset White Balance
The camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time; the existing value will
be replaced when a new value is measured.
Note that exposure is automatically increased
by 1 EV when measuring white balance; when shooting in mode M, adjust exposure so that
the exposure indicator shows ±0 (0 71).
A Other Methods for Measuring Preset White Balance
To enter preset measurement mode (see above) after selecting preset white balance in the
information display (0 80), press J for a few seconds.
If white balance has been assigned to
the Fn (E) button (0 134) and preset white balance selected by pressing the Fn (E) button
and rotating the command dial, the camera will also enter preset measurement mode if the
Fn (E) button is pressed for a few seconds.
A Studio Settings
In studio settings, a standard gray panel can be used as a reference object when measuring
preset white balance.
