White Balance Mode [ATW, AWB A, AWB B, 3200K, 5600K, VAR] The white balance mode is selected here. Select the mode when the coloring is not natural because of the nature of the light source or other factors.

ATW: This mode automatically corrects the white balance, even if the light source or color temperature changes. AWB A, AWB B: When AWB A or AWB B is selected and the white balance is executed, the adjustment results obtained are stored in the memory selected. When AWB A or AWB B is then selected, the white balance stored in the selected memory can be recalled. 3200K: This white balance mode is ideal when a 3200K halogen light is used as the light source. 5600K: This white balance mode is ideal when 5600K sunlight or fluorescent lighting is used as the light source. VAR: Specify a color temperature from 2400K to 9900K.
