If no operations are performed while the displays are flashing, direct measurement mode 
will end when the exposure meters turn off. The auto meter-off delay can be changed using 
Custom Setting c2 (Auto off timers; 

0 157). The default setting is eight seconds.

The camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time; the existing value will 
be replaced when a new value is measured. When shooting in mode M, check the exposure 
indicator to ensure that the subject is neither under- nor over-exposed (

0 85).
