Adjusting color tones

— White Balance

You can set the white balance mode
according to your shooting conditions. The
apparent color of the subject is affected by

fix the light source imaging conditions, or
when the color of the entire image seems to
be a bit unnatural, we recommend that you
adjust the white balance setting.
