If the daylight, fluorescent, or tungsten setting is selected, the manual white-balance
indicator (MWB) will appear on the data panel. If a manual white-balance setting is
selected, set the flash mode to “flash cancel” (p. 31); the flash’s white-balance control
will override the manual white-balance setting. When using the manual white balance
in low-light conditions, the use of a tripod is recommended or the camera sensitivity
can be set to high to reduce camera shake.

White Balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral.
The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using colour compensating
filters in conventional photography.
The manual white-balance settings are useful when the scene is dominated by one
colour; the interior of a forest is primarily green. While the automatic white balance may
over-correct under this condition, the daylight setting will preserve the vibrant greens.
The white-balance setting will reset to AUTO when the camera is turned off.
