balance when shooting an object of a single color or under several light sources, you
can change the setting.

Press the ADJ. Button twice.
The White Balance menu appears.
3.
Press the !" buttons to select a mode other than .
You can also press the shutter button in this state.
4.
Press the O button.
White Balance settings are completed
and the symbol appears on the screen.
This setting will be used for shooting
until you change it.
