B: Setting the White BalanceN
White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally,
the <Q> (Auto) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-
looking colors cannot be obtained with <Q>, you can select the white
balance to match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white
object.
<A> is automatically set in the <Q> mode.
