How do I set the white balance on a Nikon D40X?

Al Loc: Southern Delaware

After you turn the camera on you can select a White Balance setting (if you are using M, A, S, or P as your shooting mode) by hitting the MENU button on the back of the camera, go to the SHOOTING MENU, move down to WHITE BALANCE and hit OK. Now you can make a selection based on your light source and/or personal preferences. Remember, if you are shooting in AUTO or any of the AUTO PRESETS the camera will not allow you to select a White Balance setting because it defaults to an Auto White Balance. For more info on "fine tuning" your White Balance selection check out pp 70-72 in the D40x manual. I hope this helps.
