White balance
Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites appear white in the final picture. You can also adjust the white balance to produce creative effects. Using the Sun or Tungsten settings can produce a warmer look to the picture, and the Shade setting can make a sunset picture look more orange.
1In the Capture menu, select White Balance.
2In the White Balance menu, use
the 
buttons to select a setting. The new setting is applied to the Live View screen behind the menu, so you should be able to see the effect the setting will have on the picture.
3Press OK to save the setting and return to Live View.
