Using Preset Manual
Use when white balance setting (Auto, Incandescent, etc.) may not produce the
desired results, such as when shooting under unusual lighting conditions (e.g.,
when you want to make pictures taken under lamps with reddish-light look as
though they were shot in normal light).
Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting
used during shooting.

used during shooting.

Display the shooting menu (

multi selector to set White balance to

measurement.
3

• To apply the most recently measured white balance
value, select Cancel and press the k button. The most
recently measured white balance value will be set.
4
Frame a white or gray reference object in the
reference object frame.
5
Press the
k button to measure the white balance value.
• The shutter is released and the new white balance preset value is set (no picture is
