In the Capture menu (see page 35),
if you press OK when the White
Balance option is highlighted, the
White Balance sub-menu displays.
In some cases, it may be necessary
to pre-set the light source so the
camera can reproduce colors more
accurately and ensure that whites
appear white in the captured image. The setting in this
sub-menu determines how the camera will adjust the colors
in the image to match the scene illuminant.
The default White Balance setting is Auto. The White Balance
setting resets to Auto when you turn off the camera. Set the
White Balance according to the situations explained in the
following table.
