source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
In Basic Zone modes, [
Q] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In

To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of 
lighting. With a digital camera, the  white for color correction basis is 
decided depending on the color temperature of the illumination, and 
then the color is adjusted with software to make the white areas look 
white. With this function, pictures  with natural color tones can be taken.
With [ Q] (Ambience priority), you can  increase the intensity of the 
image’s warm color cast when shooting a...
