3 Measure white balance.

When the camera is ready to measure white balance, a flashing L will be displayed. Before the indicator stops flashing, frame the reference object so that it fills the display and press the shutter-release button all the way down . No photograph will be recorded; white balance can be measured accurately even when the camera is not in focus.

4 Check the results.

If the camera was able to measure a value for white balance, the message shown at right will be displayed. To return to shooting mode immediately, press the shutter-release button half- way.

If lighting is too dark or too bright, the camera may be unable to measure white balance. The message at right will be displayed. Return to Step 3 and measure white balance again.
