Nikon COOLPIX8800 manual Preset White Balance, sets white balance to this value, recorded

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 taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light). When (White bal. preset) is selected from the white-balance menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown above at right will be displayed.
