Preset white balance is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light

bal. preset] in the white balance menu,

3 Choose [Measure].
To apply the most recently measured value for preset
white balance, choose [Cancel] and press d.
4 Frame the reference object.
5 Press d.
The shutter is released and the new white balance value is set.
No pictures are recorded.
k Note on Preset White Balance
