Alternatively, you can position the central spot in the viewfinder<br />
over an area that you consider should be rendered as<br />
neutral in color in the image (a ‘grey card’ or even a sheet<br />
of white paper is ideal) and make a test capture (ensure the<br />
exposure is approximately correct otherwise you will get a<br />
warning message).<br />
A small rectangle appears on the display marking that particular<br />
area. Calculations then take place automatically so that<br />
the following shots use the area chosen as the new ‘white<br />
balance’ standard. Using this method you can also read off<br />
the screen what the color temperature of the light source has<br />
been judged to be in degrees Kelvin.<br />

your setting.<br />
New settings are retained even when the camera has been<br />
turned off and re-activated, so don’t forget to make new<br />
settings when required.
