White Balance
More on Photography
Preset White Balance
Preset white balance is used when shooting under
mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources
with a strong color cast (for example, to make pic-
tures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as
though they had been taken under white light). If
the multi selector is pressed to the right when
White bal preset is selected in the white-balance
menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown
above at right will be displayed in the monitor.

Description
Recalls the most recent value for preset white balance from the memory
and sets white balance to this value.
To measure a new value for white balance, place a white object, such
as a piece of paper, under the lighting that will be used in the fi nal pic-
ture. Frame this object so that it fi lls the square in the center of the
menu shown above. Highlight Measure and press the center of the
multi selector to measure a new value for white balance (shutter will be
released and camera will return to original zoom position, but no picture
will be recorded).
The Shooting Menu
White balance can also be set using the White balance option in the shooting menu
( 94).
