White Balance

Preset White Balance

Preset white balance is used when shooting under mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures tak- en under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light). When n (White bal. preset) is selected from the white-balance menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown at right will be displayed in the monitor.
