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.

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

balance.

• To apply the most recently measured white balance value,
