Measure white balance.
Before the indicators stop flashing,
frame the reference object so that it
fills the viewfinder and press the
shutter-release button all the way down. The camera will
measure a value for white balance and store it in the preset
selected in Step 3. No photograph will be recorded; white
balance can be measured accurately even when the camera is
not in focus.

Check the results.
If the camera was able to measure a
value for white balance, C will
flash in the control panel for about six
seconds, while the viewfinder will
show a flashing a.
If lighting is too dark or too bright, the
camera may be unable to measure
white balance. A flashing b a will
appear in the control panel and
viewfinder for about six seconds. Press
the shutter-release button halfway to
return to Step 5 and measure white
balance again.

Protected Presets

panel and viewfinder if you attempt to measure a new value.
