What is behind the white balance hold? In reviews it is mentioned as manual mode, but how can this feature be used. In other SONY cameras you can point to a white sheet and press a button, how can the feature improve the white balance? The manual is very limited and unclear about this.

There are 4 options in the setting, Indoor, Outdoor, Auto and Hold. When you choose Hold and press OK or ON, then the time you press the s70 will record the scence for reference. This mean before going into restaurant, you get a white paper before the camera and press Hold option in white balance, then even you are inside the restaurant, the camera has the previous reference. Hope you have some idea.
