taking pictures. With Manual White Balance, the camera can store delicate
shades that cannot be precisely adjusted with the white balance preset
values provided in the camera (p.112). This provides the optimum white
balance for your surroundings.

Color Temperature
The color of light shifts towards blue as the color temperature rises, and
towards red as the color temperature falls. Color temperature describes
this change in light color in terms of absolute temperature (K: Kelvin).
This camera is capable of setting the white balance to enable taking
pictures with natural coloring under a variety of lighting conditions.
