3 Select direct measurement mode.
Release the WB button briefly and then
press the button until the L icon in
the control panel and viewfinder start
to flash.
A flashing D will also appear
in the control panel and viewfinder.
At
default settings, the displays will flash

press the shutter-release button all the way down.
The camera

measured accurately even when the camera is not in focus.

If the camera was able to measure a
value for white balance, C will flash
in the control panel, while the
viewfinder will show a flashing a.
At
default settings, the displays will flash
