AThe Shooting Menu

White balance can also be adjusted using the White balance option in the shooting menu (0 268), which also can be used to fine-tune white balance (0 148) or measure a value for preset white balance (0 154). 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.

AStudio Flash Lighting

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