Preset White Balance

Preset white balance is used when shooting under
mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with
a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures tak-
en under a lamp with a red shade look as though they
had been taken under white light). When White bal.
preset
is selected from the WHITE BALANCE menu,
the camera will zoom in and the menu shown at right
will be displayed in the monitor.

White Balance

At settings other than auto, white balance is shown by an icon in the mon-
itor.

Option

Description

Cancel

sets white balance to this value.

Measure

To measure a new value for white balance, place a gray object, such as a
piece of cardboard, under the lighting that will be used in the final picture.
Frame this object so that it fills the square in the center of the menu shown
above. Highlight Measure and press I (the center of the multi selector)
to measure a new value for white balance (shutter will be released and
camera will return to original zoom position, but no picture will be
recorded).
