White Balance (P, S, A, and M Modes Only)
White balance ensures that colors are unaffected by the color of
the light source.
In modes other than P, S, A, and M, white balance is set
automatically by the camera. Auto white balance is
recommended for most light sources in P, S, A, and M modes, but
other values can be selected if necessary according to the type
of source:
