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 at right will be displayed in the monitor.
