Sorry, I'm probably not making my question clear. I guess "spot" could
technically mean something that I'm not familiar with. When I said
"Spot" I was referring to something white in the photo such as a white
collar on a shirt.

Also, when I said "frame", I thought the manual was referring to the small
frame in middle of the viewfinder or LCD, like the AF frame or Spot
Metering
frame.

Does frame, in this context, mean the entire image in the entire
viewfinder
or LCD? Or the smaller frame inside the window? Sorry if this is a dumb
question but the manual is not clear on this.

Thank you again for your reply

I know you can change the auto exposure/focus point by moving the
rectangle spot to different parts of the frame, but am not sure if the
manual set WB reading is taken from that same region. If the WB is read
from that zone, and the area of interest in your scene doesn't fill it,
you could zoom until it does, then after setting, return to the
composition you desire.
I've only played with my WB manual set under outdoor high pressure
sodium lighting to see how much it could compensate, and in my case I
used a large gray target that filled the whole frame.

Guess I'll have to play with the custom WB to find out then. Thank you for
your reply.
