On fluorescent light

When (Fluorescent) is selected, adjusting the value with b/B on the multi-selector selects the types of fluorescent light; it does not perform a fine adjustment.

•In a scene where the ambient light consists of multiple types of light source, if you cannot properly adjust the white balance using [AWB] (Auto WB) or the preset white balance options, use the custom white balance (page 77).
