The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in
the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the Auto [
Q ]
(Ambience priority) or [
Qw ] (White priority) setting will obtain the
correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with
Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it
manually by shooting a white object.
In Basic Zone modes, [
Q ] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In
the < P > mode, [ Qw ] (White priority) is set.)
