The first tab is ‘WhiteBalance/Exposure’.The upper half of the page
controls the White Balance, and the lower half of the page controls
the Exposure settings.

White Balance
The white balance setting automatically controls the different colour
components in the picture to obtain the most natural colour
reproduction.

When the mode setting is in freeze mode, the automatic white balance
control is switched off.The actual colour setting remains stable and is
not influenced by the internal controls of the camera. Put the white
balance in freeze mode when you have a colourful scene and stable
lighting conditions.
