White balance k Adjusting the color tone

Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when daylight or
tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly
different for each. With a digital camera, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more
natural white with a digital processor. This mechanism is called white balance. There are 4
options for setting the WB with this camera.
Auto white balance
This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and adjust the color
balance accordingly.
Use this mode for general use.
Preset white balance
Seven different color temperatures are programmed on this camera covering a variety of
indoor and outdoor lighting including fluorescent lights and light bulbs. For example, use
preset WB when you want to reproduce more red in the picture of a sunset, or capture a
warmer artistic effect under artificial lighting.
Custom white balance
You can change the color temperature of one of the preset WB settings to your liking.

One-touch white balance
You can set the optimum white balance for the shooting conditions by pointing the camera at
a white object like a sheet of white paper. The white balance achieved with this setting is
saved as one of the preset WB settings.
