DMeasuring Preset White Balance

If no operations are performed while the displays are flashing, direct measurement mode will end when the exposure meters turn off. The auto meter-off delay can be changed using the Auto off timers option in the setup menu (0 143). The default setting is eight seconds.

DPreset White Balance

The camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time; the existing value will be replaced when a new value is measured. Note that exposure is automatically increased by 1 EV when measuring white balance; when shooting in mode M, adjust exposure so that the exposure indicator shows ±0 (0 77).

If white balance has been assigned to the Fn button (0 146) and preset white balance selected by pressing the Fn button and rotating the command dial, the camera will also enter preset measurement mode if the Fn button is pressed for a few seconds.
