White Balance > Preset

Preset white balance is used to record and recall custom white balance set- tings for shooting under mixed lighting, to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast, or to replicate the white balance used in an existing photo. Two methods are available for setting preset white balance:

Option	Description
Measure	Neutral gray or white object is placed under lighting that will be used in
	final photograph and white balance is measured by camera.
	White balance value is copied from photo on memory card (note that
Use Photo	Nikon Capture 4 version 4.3 or later can be used to adjust white bal-
	ance of existing pictures if desired).

Measuring a Value for White Balance

The existing measured value is lost when a new value is measured. The value for Use Photo is unaffected.

1 Place a neutral gray or white object under the lighting that will be used in the final photograph. For more accurate results, use an 18% diffusion panel to make the reference object appear gray.

2 Select Measure.
