natural color balance.

Select the appropriate white balance mode under the following conditions:
∑ One push white balance mode
• Shooting with the lighting condition on the subject set and with the white balance set
in a particular condition

white balance automatically. You may not get an appropriate white balance when you
record in the indoor mode.
