Adjusting color tones— White Balance

You can set the white balance mode according to your shooting conditions. The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions. When you want to fix the light source imaging conditions, or when the color of the entire image seems to be a bit unnatural, we recommend that you adjust the white balance setting.
