Adjusting color (WB (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.
• Separate options can be selected for still photography and movie mode.
1 Press the Q button to display the LV super control
panel.
