Setting the White Balance
White balance is a function for adjusting the color of an image so that white 
objects appear white. Set the white balance if you are not satisfied with the 
color balance of pictures taken with white balance set to F (Auto), or 
to intentionally apply a creative effect to your images.

Color Space
Color ranges for various input/output devices, such as digital 
cameras, monitors, and printers, differ. This color range is called the 
Color Space.
To recreate different color spaces in different devices, standard color 
spaces have been proposed. This camera supports sRGB and 
AdobeRGB.
sRGB is mainly used for devices such as a computer.
AdobeRGB covers a wider range of color than sRGB and is used for 
occupational uses such as industrial printing.
