Image Quality Select image quality ( 30). Image Size Choose image size ( 30). White Balance (P, S, A, and M Modes) Nine options are available for white balance. See "Reference: White Balance" ( 49). Fine-Tuning White Balance At settings other than White balance preset, white balance can be "fine tuned" by ±3 in increments of one (see page 118 of the Appendix for color temperature equivalents). Choose lower values to make photographs appear slightly more yellow or red, higher values to lend images a bluish tinge.

Press the multi selector up or down to select a value for fine tuning; press OK to select and return to the shooting menu. Preset White Balance Preset white balance can be used when the desired results can not be achieved at other settings or to match white balance to the value used in an existing photograph.
