The Shooting Menu (A (Auto) Mode) White Balance (Adjusting Hue) Display the shooting screen in A (Auto) mode (A31) M d button M A menu icon (A6) M White balance The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as "white balance." Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.

Best choice in most situations. Useful when shooting under unusual lighting. See "Using Preset Manual" for more information (E32). White balance adjusted for direct sunlight.
