WHITE BALANCE
White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of
lighting appear natural. The active white-balance mode is
displayed in the white-balance panel on the monitor.
Auto white balance - white balance is set automatically.
Turn the white-balance dial to the appropriate position.
Preset white balance - to set the white balance to a specific light source.
Custom white balance - to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting situation.
Color temperature - to set the white balance to a specific color temperature.
Auto white balance automatically detects the type of light and
adjust the white balance accordingly. When the built-in flash is
used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the
flash. Simply set the white-balance dial to the AWB position.
