Last week at a family gathering I took some indoor pictures with my D5600 and SB910 flash. Tried some setting I had read and they did not work, pictures looked ok on the camera but once on the pc they were grainy from not enough light. Next night I tried again and a family member told me to try setting the White Balance for a picture to compare to. The have a Canon something, but helped me find on my camera. From what I understood was the picture that was too dark I would match to the White Image that was in the camera to use for a guide of how light I wanted the future pictures in that setting. Sound great, and helped a little but still not what I had expected with the SB910, will continue to work with it and learn more. In the process of this I removed / deleted the "white" image in the camera. I wanted to get it back as the default start and did a reset of that menu section but it did not come back, it continues to show "take a picture of white paper" . Is there a way to get this factory white image back?

If you post an example of your image and give us the EXIF information, we could provide some guidance. I don't know of any white image that is provided, but I could be wrong. USUALLY, but not always, setting your Nikon for auto white balance works well. Are you shooting RAW or JPEG? If both, which are you reviewing on your system?

TBonze, Thanks for the reply.. the link Jerry listed what we did and where I found the preset white. I am shooting jpg and view with the pc picture viewer ...
Jerry, thanks for the link, that is where we made the changes and when we did it had a white screen to use. the article is very helpful, I was trying to get the original image back because of the varying of what "white" they recommend to use. I think this is what I did .... well I copied from the article but it will not paste here. but it says if you use the white to compare to a photo you will overwrite the existing one. I feel sure a seasoned photographer that uses this method changes as needed, I was just trying to keep it out of the box setting.
thanks to both of you

If so, just take a clean white paper or carton, but pay attention to have the light to be even across the full page.
