from daylight to fluorescent lighting, for example.Select one of the five
options:
Auto: Select to enable or disable automatic white balance. Its color
temperature range is 3000 to 7500°K. The white balance value is calculated
using color information from the entire screen. This is the default setting.

Indoor: Select for a static indoor setting. Optimizes the WB for typical indoor
conditions.
Outdoor: Select for a static outdoor setting. Optimizes the WB for typical
outdoor conditions.

color temperature range is 2000 to 10,000°K. The white balance is
calculated, or “traced”, more quickly than by the Auto function.
