White Balance
White balance is used to ensure that colors which appear white when viewed directly are white in the final photograph. It can also be used to produce an intentionally unbalanced rendering of a scene. Selecting Fluorescent displays a menu of bulb types. If Choose color temp. is selected when a D3-series, D700, D610, D600, D300-series, D90, D7100, or D7000 camera is connected, a menu of color temperatures will be displayed.
