While earlier cameras could only measure white balance

with a white or neutral gray reference object framed to ll

the viewnder, the D6 can measure white balance from a

much smaller area of the frame.

To measure white balance during

viewnder photography, select

[Preset manual] for white balance

and then press and hold the

button until the

indicators in the top control panel and

viewnder and the

icon in the rear control panel start

to ash, showing that the camera is in direct measurement

mode.

The focus point will change to a

white balance target positioned in

the center of the frame as shown

and cannot be moved. After ad‑

justing lighting to your satisfaction,

aim the camera to place the white

balance target over the reference object and press the

shutter‑release button all the way down to measure white

balance. You can then press the

button to exit direct

measurement mode.
