White Balance - Olympus Camedia C-720 Ultra Zoom Basic Manual

White Balance

Color reproduction differs depending on the lighting conditions. For instance,
when daylight, the setting sun, or indoor lighting are reflected on white paper,
the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By setting the
WB (white balance), you can achieve more natural-looking color. You can
also preview different color tones by trying the different settings under the
actual light source, and checking the result on the viewfinder/monitor.
