One-touch white balance

PRESET WB can provide. To set the optimum white balance for the shooting

conditions, point the camera at a white object under the light source you want

to use and adjust the white balance.

camera at a sheet of white paper.

• Position the paper so that it fills the screen,

making sure there are no shadows.
