One-touch white balance
Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under
the lighting that will be used in the final photograph. Use this option to fine-tune
white balance when you find it hard to obtain the desired results with white balance

The camera stores the metered value for quick recall as required.
Settings for still photography and movie recording can be stored individually.
