when shooting under mixed lighting or to compensate
for light sources with a strong color cast. When
(White Bal Preset) is selected from the White Balance
menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown
at right will be displayed in the monitor or viewfinder.

appear slightly yellow or red. In the case of
