Preset Manual

The preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light). Follow the procedure below to measure the white balance value according to the light source when shooting.

1Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting.
