Shooting Setting the white balance WB En You can adjust the white balance by selecting the appropriate color temperature for the light conditions. Setting the one-touch white balance This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than preset WB can provide. Point the camera at a white object under the light source you want to use to determine the white balance. The optimum white balance for the current shooting conditions can be saved in the camera. Up to 4 settings can be registered as one-touch WB settings.
