AThe Shooting Menus

White balance can also be adjusted using the White balance option in either of the shooting menus (0 269, 274), which also can be used to fine-tune white balance (0 114) or measure a value for preset manual white balance (0 120). The Auto option in the White balance menu offers a choice of Normal and Keep warm lighting colors, which preserves the warm colors produced by incandescent lighting, while the IFluorescent option can be used to select the light source from the bulb types. The item in the movie shooting menu offers a Same as photo settings option that sets the white balance for movies to the same as that used for photographs.

AStudio Flash Lighting

Auto white balance may not produce the desired results with large studio flash units. Use preset manual white balance or set white balance to Flash and use fine tuning to adjust white balance.
