Setting White Balance

Adjust the white balance based on the light source to give the image the most
realistic colors possible. Auto (default setting) will cover most situations, but
the white balance may be changed to compensate for unusual lighting con-
ditions that may produce images with unnatural colors.
White balance can be selected in M and E modes.
