Adjusting color tones
— White Balance
You can set the white balance mode 
according to your shooting conditions. The 
apparent color of the subject is affected by 
the lighting conditions. When you want to 
fix the light source imaging conditions, or 
when the color of the entire image seems 
to be a bit unnatural, we recommend that 
you adjust the white balance setting.
