D Measuring Preset White Balance If no operations are performed while the displays are flashing, direct measurement mode will end when the exposure meters turn off. The auto meter-off delay can be changed using Custom Setting c2 (Auto off timers; 0 157). The default setting is eight seconds. D Preset White Balance The camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time; the existing value will be replaced when a new value is measured. When shooting in mode M, check the exposure indicator to ensure that the subject is neither under- nor over-exposed (0 85). A Other Methods for Measuring Preset White Balance To enter preset measurement mode (see above) after selecting preset white balance in the information display (0 96), press J for a few seconds. If white balance has been assigned to the Fn (E) button (0 163) and preset white balance selected by pressing the Fn (E) button and rotating the command dial, the camera will also enter preset measurement mode if the Fn (E) button is pressed for a few seconds. A Studio Settings In studio settings, a standard gray panel can be used as a reference object when measuring preset white balance. t 101
