WB

button and rotating the sub-command dial.

Use the multi selector to fine-tune white
balance. White balance can be fine tuned on
the amber (A)–blue (B) axis and the green
(G)–magenta (M) axis. The horizontal
(amber-blue) axis corresponds to color
temperature, with each increment
equivalent to about 5 mired. The vertical
(green-magenta) axis has the similar effects
to the corresponding color compensation
