In addition to Advanced Auto White Balance, which capably produces natural coloration in most situations, the D300 also offers six manual settings specific to the scene's lighting - Incandescent, Fluorescent, Flash, Direct Sunlight, Cloudy and Shade. Direct selection of Kelvin color temperature is also available, as is a user-controlled preset manual option for using a gray or white object as a reference to match the scene's lighting. Settings can be fine tuned using a grid display on the LCD monitor, including color temperature adjustment and color correcting filter-like adjustment. White balance bracketing can also be used for up to nine frames.
