White Balance

The human eye adapts to changes in light so that white objects
still appear white even when the light changes. With cameras,
however, the color balance must be adjusted according to the
colors of the light surrounding the subject. This color adjustment
is called the white balance adjustment. This setting allows you to
set the white balance when taking photographs under specific
lighting conditions.
Select and set the appropriate white balance using [ ] and [ ].
