Preset White Balance Preset white balance is used when shooting under mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong WHITE BAL PRESET color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under an in- candescent light look as though they had been taken under white light). When White bal. preset is selected in the WHITE BALANCE menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown Cancel Measure OK at right will be displayed on the monitor. White balance measuring window Cancel (default setting) Maintains the most recent value and uses it for white balance. Measure To measure a new value for white balance, place a neutral gray object, such as a piece of cardboard, under the lighting that will be used when shooting. Frame the object to fill the square in the center of the menu shown above. Highlight Measure and press d to measure a new value for white balance (the shutter will be released and the camera will return to the original zoom position, but no picture will be recorded). Additional Shooting Options Notes on Preset White Balance • The camera cannot measure a value for preset white balance when the flash fires. Regardless of the flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when selecting Measure. • Preset white balance cannot be used when AUTO BRACKETING is set to WB bracketing. • If the mode dial is set to c, the lens does not extend when turning the camera on. The lens extends only after pressing d when you select White bal. preset in the WHITE BALANCE menu. 47
