Measure white balance.
Before the indicators stop flashing, 
frame the reference object so that it 
fills the viewfinder and press the 
shutter-release button all the way down. The camera will 
measure a value for white balance and store it in the preset 
selected in Step 3. No photograph will be recorded; white 
balance can be measured accurately even when the camera is 
not in focus.

Check the results.
If the camera was able to measure a 
value for white balance, C will 
flash in the control panel for about six 
seconds, while the viewfinder will 
show a flashing a.
If lighting is too dark or too bright, the 
camera may be unable to measure 
white balance. A flashing b a will 
appear in the control panel and 
viewfinder for about six seconds. Press 
the shutter-release button halfway to 
return to Step 5 and measure white 
balance again.
