Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when daylight or
tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly
different for each. With a digital camera, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more
natural white with a digital processor. This is called white balance. There are 4 options for
setting the WB with this camera.
Auto white balance [AUTO]
This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and adjust the color
balance accordingly. Use this mode for general use.

8 different color temperatures are programmed on this camera covering a variety of indoor
and outdoor lighting including fluorescent lights, light bulbs, and flashes. For example, use
preset WB when you want to reproduce more red in the picture of a sunset, or capture a
warmer artistic effect under artificial lighting.
