Preset Manual
The preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for
light sources with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been
achieved with white balance settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example,
to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had
been shot under white light). Follow the procedure below to measure the white
balance value according to the light source when shooting.

Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be
used during shooting.

manual instead of taking a new measurement, tap

white balance, and a new measurement is not
performed.
