Default Using Preset manual white balance (D300)

Lello,

As you noted, you'll see Gd in the viewfinder if the camera's measurement of white balance was successful. However, you need to place a neutral reference under the lighting you want to measure. While the PRE icon is flashing, take a picture of the reference object.

You have to be careful that there is no glare from your reference and that it is under the same lighting as your subject.

Measuring white balance by using your printer as a reference did get you closer but white balance still seems off a little. Here's what I got by adjusting white balance in your jpegs.
