White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
Adjust white balance to suit the light source or weather conditions in order to
make the colors in images match what you see with your eyes.
• Use Auto (normal) under most conditions. Change the setting when you
want to adjust the hue of the image you are taking.
* Fine adjustments in seven steps are available. Apply positive (+) to increase blue
hue and negative (–) to increase red hue.
