When Intelligent auto mode is set to off:

When the Intelligent auto mode is set to off, the Auto white balance and Auto focus operate and automatically adjust the color balance and focusing.

Depending on the brightness of the subject etc., the aperture and shutter speed are automatically adjusted for an optimum brightness.

Color balance and focus may not be adjusted automatically depending on light sources or scenes. If so, manually adjust these settings. (l 74)

Automatic white balance

White balance adjustment recognizes the color of light and adjusts so the white color will become a purer white. The unit determines the hue of light, thereby judging the recording condition, and selects the closest hue setting.
