Keeping Colors True Taking Photographs-White Balance 5 Frame the reference object so that it fills the viewfinder and press the shutter-release but- ton all the way down to measure a value for white balance (the shutter will be released, but no photograph will be taken). If the camera is able to measure a value for white balance, the letters will flash for two seconds in the control panel shutter-speed display, and the viewfinder shutter-speed display will show a flashing . The new value will be recorded when the shutter-release button is pressed half- way or when the exposure meter turns off (auto meter off; 151). Until white balance is mea- sured again, this value will be used in all subsequent photographs taken at a setting of Preset (PRE). If the camera is unable to measure a value for white balance, the shutter-speed/aperture dis- plays in the control panel and viewfinder will show a flashing . Press the shutter-re- lease button halfway while this indicator is flashing to return to Step 4. Repeat Steps 4 and 5, taking care to adjust settings to avoid extreme under- or over-exposure. If white balance is not measured before the exposure meters turn off automatically, the camera will revert to the last measured preset white balance setting. To set a new value for white balance, repeat Steps 3-5. Note that the camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time. Measuring a new value will delete the previous value from memory. During Recording If preset white balance is measured while images are being recorded to the memory card ( 34), the result ( / or ) will not appear in the viewfinder and control panel until recording is complete. We recommend that you wait until recording is complete before measuring preset white balance. 57
