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

natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.
