Here is how to manually choose a White Balance Kelvin color temperature value using the WB button, the sub-command dial, and the top LCD control panel:

1. Press and hold the WB button on the top left of your D200 (see Figure 2).

2. Rotate the rear sub-command dial thumbwheel. Each click of the thumbwheel will change to a new white balance setting such as Auto, 2500K to 10000K, manual Kelvin temperature (K), and PrE in the LCD top control panel.Here we simply select one of the White Balance Options. (See page 35 of the D200 manual, and the table below for more on symbols) These Symbols, Options, and their Kelvin values are as follows:

SYMBOL	OPTION	KELVIN° TEMPERATURE
	Auto	3500 to 8000°K
	Incandescent	3000°K
	Fluorescent	4200°K
	Direct sunlight	5200°K
	Flash	5400°K
	Cloudy	6000°K
	Shade	8000°K
	Choose color	2500 to 10000°K (Use front dial to choose)
	Pre	Direct measured value with grey card

There are a total of nine symbols, as shown in the table above. The eighth selection “K” or Choose Color Temp is a flexible one which allows you to select a Kelvin value manually between 2,500 and 10,000 K. Once you have selected the K symbol by holding down the WB button and rotating the rear sub-command dial, you will then use the front main command dial to select the actual Kelvin temperature you desire.

We will discuss the first and last selections, Auto and PRE in upcoming sections.

Special Note: There is also a method for “fine-tuning” each white balance selection by 10 “mired” clicks, up to 30 mired in either direction. You can modify a basic white balance of, for example, 5000K, from 4970K to 5030K. This works like the Exposure Compensation feature of your D200. See page 37 of your user’s manual for more information. If you have never heard of “mired” values you can safely ignore this special note. It is for those who are extra critical about fine-tuning the white balance.
