* K-Choose color temp. (see Figure 6-15) – This extra
screen gives you a list of color temperatures to choose
from. Remember that color temperatures change how the
image color looks by warming it (reddish) or cooling it
(bluish). You can choose from a range of color
temperatures: 2500K to 10,000K.
* PRE-Preset manual – This lets you choose a past
White balance reading from using the PRE method on a
white or gray card in the ambient light in which you are
shooting. See the chapter titled Chapter 10 for
information on doing PRE readings. You can choose
from up to five previous PRE readings, stored in
memory locations d-0 to d-4.
As you scroll through the list of settings, you’ll be able
to see the color temperature of the image change. Select
the setting you want to use, and then press the OK button
to return to the main NEF (RAW) processing
configuration screen. You can fine-tune the colors of the
individual White balance settings for this image by using
the final screen shown in each of
Figure 6-13-Figure 6-16 and changing the value in the
color adjustment box with the Multi Selector. You’ll see
your fine-tuning adjustment change the color
temperature of image.
If you don’t want to fine-tune the White balance, simply
press the OK button when you get to the fine-tuning
screen. The camera will return to the main NEF (RAW)
processing configuration screen. You can cancel the
operation with the Playback button.
