taking pictures. With the manual white balance, the camera can store
delicate shades that cannot be precisely adjusted with the white balance
preset values provided in the camera. This provides the optimum white
balance for your surroundings.

and towards red as the color temperature falls. Color temperature
describes this change in light color in terms of absolute temperature
(K: Kelvin). This camera is capable of setting the white balance to
enable taking pictures with natural coloring under a variety of lighting
conditions.
