How do I set the White Balance? (EOS REBEL T5/EOS 1200D)

Solution

The White Balance feature on this camera is set to "Auto White Balance" at the time of purchase.
The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the [AWB] (Auto) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with [AWB], you can select the white balance that matches the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
NOTE

Follow the steps below to set the White Balance.

1. Set the cameras power switch to <ON>.

2. Set the Mode dial to a Creative Zone mode.

3. When the camera is ready to shoot, press the < WB> button to display the [White Balance] screen.

4. Press the < > keys or turn the < > dial to select to the desired setting, then press <SET>.


The "Approx. ****K" (K: Kelvin) displayed for the selected white balance < >(Sunlight), < >(Shade), < >(Cloudy), < >(tungsten light), < >(white fluorescent light) is the respective color temperature.

REFERENCE
[ ] Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source for better accuracy. For more information, please refer to the cameras Instruction Manual.

This completes the white balance setting procedure.
