If the camera was able to measure a value for
white balance,
will fl ash in the control
panel and the viewfi nder will show a fl ashing
for about three seconds before the camera
returns to shooting mode.
If lighting is too dark or too bright, the camera
may be unable to measure white balance. A
fl ashing
will appear in the control panel
and viewfi nder for about three seconds. Return
to Step 4 and measure white balance again.
The new value for white balance will be stored in preset d-0, automatically replac-
ing the previous value for this preset (no confi rmation dialog will be displayed).
To use the new value, 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 fi ve
white balance values can be stored (
42).
Nikon Capture 4 Version 4.4 or later (available separately) can be used to edit white
balance when RAW photographs taken with the D200 are displayed on a computer.
The edited value can be copied directly to a white balance preset while the camera is
connected to a computer, or the image can be saved to the camera memory card and
the white balance value copied using the
Select Image
option in the preset menu.
Any comments created with Nikon Capture 4 will also be copied to the comment for
the selected preset. See the Nikon Capture 4 manual for details.
