Using Preset Manual

The preset manual option is used 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 shot under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light).

Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting used during shooting.

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

2Display the shooting menu (A6, 68), use the multi selector to select Preset manual in the White balance menu, and press the k button.
