Adjusting color (White Balance)
White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by the camera
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired results
or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.

One-touch white balance
Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting
that will be used in the final photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural
