compensate.

regardless of the conditions. Use this setting under
backlight conditions, when the subject is in the shade,
under fluorescent lighting conditions, etc.

this setting when capturing an image in a location
where flashes are forbidden, or when shooting a night

flash will operate in a way that reduces the red
