Preset White Balance

Preset white balance is used to record and recall custom white balance set- tings for shooting under mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast. Four options are available for setting preset white balance:

Recording New Values with the Camera

(1)Frame a neutral gray or white object and press the shutter-release button to measure a value for white balance ( 60).

(2)Measure white balance with the ambient light sensor ( 60).

Copying Values from Existing Photographs

(3)Copy white balance from another image on the memory card ( 65).

(4)Copy white balance from Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or later ( 66).

The camera can store up to ﬁve values for preset white balance in presets d-0–d-4. White balance values recorded with options (1) and (2) are stored in preset d-0. To prevent this value from being replaced the next time white balance is measured, the value stored in d-0 can be copied to presets d-1–d-4 for long-term storage ( 66). White balance values copied using options (3) and (4) are also stored in presets d-1–d-4. A descriptive comment can be added to any white balance preset ( 64).
