White Balance

White balance ensures that colors are unaffected by the color of the light source. Auto white balance is recommended for most light sources, but other values can be selected if necessary according to the type of source. Note that this setting is not available in auto photo or Smart Photo Selector mode, when Scene auto selector is selected in Motion Snapshot mode, or when creative modes other than P, S, A, M are selected; in these modes, white balance is automatically adjusted to suit the scene.
