Measure

Preset white balance is used when shooting un- der mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken un- der white light). When PRE (White Bal Preset) is selected from the white-balance menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown at left will be displayed in the monitor.

Option	Description
Cancel	Recalls the most recent value for preset white balance
	from memory and sets white balance to this value.
	To measure a new value for white balance, place a
	white object, such as a piece of paper, under the light-
	ing that will be used in the final picture. Frame this
	object so that it fills the square in the center of the
Measure	menu shown above. Highlight “Measure” and press
	the multi selector to measure a new value for white
	balance (shutter will be released and camera will return
	to original zoom position, but no picture will be
	recorded).
