f 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 taken
under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had
been taken under white light). When f White bal.
preset is selected from the White balance menu, the
camera will zoom in and the menu shown above at right
will be displayed in the monitor.
Preset White Balance
• The camera cannot measure a value for preset white balance when the flash fires. Regard-
less of the Flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when selecting Measure.
• When Auto bracketing is set to x WB bracketing, preset white balance cannot be
used.
