Use this feature when the color tone of the image did not come out as you
expected, or when you want to change the color tone on purpose for
photographic expression.
Notes
• When the exposure mode is set to AUTO, AUTO+, or Scene Selection, [White
Balance] is fixed to [Auto WB] and you cannot select other modes.
• If the only light source available is a mercury lamp or a sodium lamp, the camera
will not be able to acquire the accurate white balance because of the characteristics
of the light source. Use the flash in such cases.
