Setting the White Balance Mode
You may adjust the White Balance Mode so that subjects appear in natural colors, even
when under a light source. Normally, Auto is the preferred setting.
The white balance is adjusted automatically, using the white portion as a reference. The
white balance sometimes cannot be adjusted correctly. If the white area of the subject is
too small. If this occurs, set the White Balance Mode to the Daylight mode, Fluorescent
mode or Tungsten light mode, then take the picture.
