Adjusting White Balance from the Shooting Menu

White balance can adjusted using the White Bal option in the shooting menu. In the shooting menu, highlight White Bal and press the multi selector to the right to display the white-balance menu. Press the multi selector up or down to highlight the desired setting.

Except in the case of WB Preset (preset white balance), highlighting a white balance setting and pressing the multi selector to the right displays a dialog where you can fine-tune the chosen setting. Press the multi selector up or down to choose the amount white balance will be adjusted, then press the multi selector to the right to put your selection into effect and return to the shooting menu.
