With a Pentax DSLR you set white balance by putting a Neutral (gray, white, really doesn't make much difference as long as it's neutral), in the target area of your camera, (on the D it's full frame, on the DS and later you can use the spot metering circle), under the light you're taking photographs in. Set the camera to make a test reading, and that becomes your custom white balance. Simple and easy.
