Preset Manual

The preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources
with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance
settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images taken under a lamp with
a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light). Follow the procedure
below to measure the white balance value according to the light source when shooting.
Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be
used during shooting.
