You have to choose to have the ambient light checked, and then when it  
runs that function, it will recommend a set of target values that will  
include a white luminance (a white point, the color of white, will  
also be suggested). You then choose to accept these recommended  
settings, or ignore them and continue with your previous target  
values. If none of that sounds familiar, you probably haven't done it  
this way before. You'll have to choose to define a new target, and  
check the ambient light option for this to be triggered.
