Storing White Balance Values for
Future Use
If you have previously used the manual “measured” PRE
method to set the WB, you will already have a value in WB
memory location d-0. You can keep up to five WB values
stored in your D300(S). In location d-0 you’ll find the current
PRE WB, and in d-1 through d-4 you’ll find any stored WB
values. They appear as tiny images, as shown in Figure 10-5.
If you shoot under a certain light source on a frequent basis,
such as in a studio, you may want to store one or more of
your PRE White balance values in one of the four permanent
storage areas in your camera (d-1 to d-4).
I tried to enter a White balance measurement directly into one
of the d-1–d-4 memory locations by selecting the location
before doing the light measurement. However, my values did
not show up in d-1–d-4 but instead overwrote the value in d-0
each time. It is only possible to copy a value from d-0 into
one of the four storage locations. I suppose Nikon was
concerned that one might accidentally overwrite a carefully
prepared White balance setting, so it added a copy step
between the measurement and long-term storage.
