The preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for
light sources with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been
achieved with white balance settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example,
to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had
been shot under white light).

light source when shooting.
