white balance will remain in the memory even if 
power is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to 
reset the white balance if the color temperature of 
those objects remains unchanged. However, it must 
be reset if the color temperature changes, such as 
when you move from indoors to outside, or vice 
versa.
