Shooting Functions
White Balance represents the light source that influences on the color of a
photo.
The color of a photo depends on the type and quality of the light source.
If you want the color of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate
lighting condition to calibrate the White Balance, such as Auto WB,
Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, or adjust color temperature manually.
You can also adjust color for the preset light sources so that the colors of
the photo match the actual scene under mixed lighting conditions.
To set the White

value. Press [D], and then adjust the color temperature.
