Notes on Preset White Balance

The camera cannot measure a value for preset white balance when the flash fires. Regardless of the flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when selecting Measure.

Preset white balance cannot be used when AUTO BRACKETING is set to WB bracketing.

If the mode dial is set to c, the lens does not extend when turning the camera on.

The lens extends only after pressing d when you select White bal. preset in the WHITE BAL- ANCE menu.
