[ ] White balance

The human eye adapts to changes in light so that white objects still appear white when the light changes. With cameras, however, the color balance must be adjusted according to the colors of the light surrounding the subject. This color adjustment is called “white balance adjustment.” This menu item allows you to select an appropriate white balance setting according to the lighting conditions.
