If lighting is too dark or too bright, the camera may be unable to measure white balance. A flashing ba will appear in the control panel and viewfinder (at default settings, the displays will flash for about six seconds). Press the shutter- release button halfway to return to Step 4 and measure white balance again.

APreset d-0

The new value for white balance will be stored in preset d-0, automatically replacing the previous value for this preset (no confirmation dialog will be displayed). A thumbnail will be displayed in the preset white balance list.

To use the new value for white balance, select preset d-0 (if no value has

been measured for white balance before d-0 is selected, white balance will be set to a color temperature of 5,200 K, the same as Direct sunlight).

The new white balance value will remain in preset d-0 until white balance is measured again. By copying preset d-0 to one of the other presets before measuring a new value for white balance, up to five white balance values can be stored (pg. 153).
