Setting the one-touch white balance
This function is useful when you need a more precise white balance than preset
WB can provide. Point the camera at a sheet of white paper under the light source
you want to use to determine the white balance. The optimum white balance for
the current shooting conditions can be saved in the camera.
This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as well as under various
light sources with different color temperatures.
