Menu Guide—The Shooting Menu
— Preset White Balance —
Preset white balance is used to adjust white balance when
shooting under mixed lighting or to compensate for light
sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make
pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as
though they had been taken under white light).
Option Description
Cancel
Recalls the most recent setting for preset white balance from
memory and sets white balance to this value.
To measure a new value for white balance, place a white object,
such as a piece of paper, under the lighting that will be used in
the final picture. Frame this object so that it fills the square in the
center of the menu shown above. Highlight Measure and press
the Multi selector to the right to measure a new value for preset
white balance (camera will zoom out and shutter will be released,
but no picture will be recorded).

At setting other than Auto, the current white-

camera uses to measure light when determining
exposure. In å shooting mode, “METERING”
menu offers a choice of four metering methods:

How It Works
Meters 256 areas of frame
producing optimal
exposure for whole image
Meters only area shown by
square in center of the
monitor (1/32 of total
frame).
Meters whole frame; but
central 1/4 has an 80%
weighting.
Camera measures light in
current focus area only
When to Use It
Best choice in most
circumstances.
Ensures central subject will be
correctly exposed regardless
of background illumination.
Use for portraits; adjusts
exposure according to lighting
at the center of the frame, but
still preserves background
details.
Useful when you want to use
spot metering with manual or
automatic focus-area selection
(p. 112) to meter an off-center
subject.
