Adjusting Hue (n WB)
White balance makes white objects look white. Although [AUTO] works well in most
situations, you can choose an option suited to the light source if [AUTO] fails to
make white objects appear white or if instead you wish to deliberately lend white
objects a color cast.
• This setting can be accessed via:
- The WB button (P. 381)
- The LV super control panel (P. 382)
- The menus (P. 382)
- Live controls (P. 382)
