Using Preset Manual
Preset manual is used with unusual lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong
color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance settings like
Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images shot under a lamp with a red shade
look as though they had been shot under white light).
Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting used when
shooting.
1
Prepare a white or gray-colored subject and then place it under the
lighting that will be used when shooting.
2
Display the shooting menu (A 65), use the
multi selector to select b Preset manual in
the White balance menu, and then press the
k button.
• The camera zooms in to the position for measuring white
balance.
3
Select Measure.
• To apply the most recently measured white balance value,
select Cancel and then press the k button. The white
balance setting is not measured again and the most
recently measured value is set.
