Preset White Balance

Preset white balance is used with 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 under white light).

1	Place white or gray reference object under lighting that will be used during
	shooting. Note that preset white balance can not be measured with the flash.
