Nikon D80OUTFIT User Manual

  Place a neutral gray or white object under the lighting that will be used in the fi nal pho-

tograph.  A standard gray card can be used as a reference in studio settings.  Do not use 
exposure compensation.

  Press the WB button and rotate the main command dial until 

 is displayed in the 

control panel.

  Release the WB button briefl y and then press the button until displays start to fl ash as 

shown at right.  To exit without measuring a new value for white balance, press the WB 
button.

  Frame the reference object so that it fi lls the viewfi nder and 

press the shutter-release button all the way down.  The cam-
era will measure a value for white balance and use this value 
when preset white balance is selected.  No photograph will be 
recorded.

 

To exit without measuring a new value for white balance, press the WB button.

  If the camera was able to measure a value for white balance, the 

displays will fl ash as shown at right for about six seconds before 
the camera returns to shooting mode (to return to shooting 
mode before the display stops fl ashing, press the shutter-re-
lease button halfway).  White balance will automatically be set 
to the measured value.

 

If the displays fl ash as shown at right, the camera was unable to 
measure white balance.  Press the shutter-release button half-
way to return to Step 4 and measure white balance again.
