Preset Manual
The preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for
light sources with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been
achieved with white balance settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example,
to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had
been shot under white light). Follow the procedure below to measure the white
balance value according to the light source when shooting.

used during shooting.

white balance, and a new measurement is not
performed.
