Taking Photographs-White Balance Preset White Balance Preset white balance is used to record and recall custom white balance settings for shooting under mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast. Four options are available for setting preset white balance: Recording New Values with the Camera (1) Frame a neutral gray or white object and press the shutter-release button to measure a value for white balance ( 60). (2) Measure white balance with the ambient light sensor ( 60). Copying Values from Existing Photographs (3) Copy white balance from another image on the memory card ( 65). (4) Copy white balance from Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or later ( 66). The camera can store up to five values for preset white balance in presets d-0-d-4. White balance values recorded with options (1) and (2) are stored in preset d-0. To prevent this value from being replaced the next time white balance is measured, the value stored in d-0 can be copied to presets d-1-d-4 for long-term storage ( 66). White balance values copied using options (3) and (4) are also stored in presets d-1-d-4. A descriptive comment can be added to any white balance preset ( 64). d-0 d-1 - d-4 Stores last val- Store values copied from d-0 ( ue measured 66). for white bal- ance ( 60).

A confirmation dialog will be displayed if the user attempts to change a white balance preset created in another shooting menu bank (no warning is displayed for preset d-0). 59
