Adjusting the color tones (White balance)
• Use the white balance bracket function if you cannot get the desired color
in the selected option (page 113).
You can select the desired color temperature and perform a fine adjustment
by combining the color temperature with the color filter.
AWB (Auto WB) The camera automatically detects a light source and adjusts
the color tones.
(Daylight) If you select an option to suit a specific light source, the color
tones are adjusted for the light source (preset white balance).
• Press B on the multi-selector so that the fine
adjustment screen appears and you can adjust the
color tone with v/V/b/B, as necessary
(page 134).
