13) WHITE BALANCE: This setting improves color accuracy when the ambient light is either too cool
(blue or green) or too warm (yellow/orange). Examples of cool lighting situations are cloudy day,
diving at depths below 20 feet / 6 meters in either fresh or salt water, fluorescent light, or scenes in
shade. Examples of warm lighting situations are candlelight and tungsten light. Setting choices are
AUTO, SUNNY (daylight situations), CLOUDY (cool light situations), FLUORESCENT (under
fluorescent lighting), INCANDESCENT (under filament lamp lighting) and MANUAL.
