Preset Manual
Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a
strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance
settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images shot under a
lamp with a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light).
Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting
used during shooting.
1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be
used during shooting.
2 Display the shooting menu (A 46), use the
rotary multi selector to choose b Preset
manual in the White balance menu, and
press the k button.
The camera zooms in to the position for measuring white
balance.
3 Choose Measure.
To apply the most recently measured white balance
value, choose Cancel and press the k button. The white
balance setting will not be measured again and the most
recently measured value will be set.
4 Frame the reference object in the measuring
window.
5 Press the k button to measure a value for preset manual.
The shutter is released and the new white-balance value is set. No image is saved.
