PRESET WB settings under the actual light source and checking the
result on the monitor.
One-touch white balance
This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than
PRESET WB can provide. To set the optimum white balance for the shooting
conditions, point the camera at a white object under the light source you want
to use and adjust the white balance.
