Point that circle at your reference source (grey slate is the best, but the palm of your hand will work in a pinch) and press the shutter.

I wish my Nikons would do that.  As far as I know, I have to mostly fill the screen with a gray card to set a custom white balance.   Would that it could do a spot meter as well...
