White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white instead of having a color cast. Normally, the <AWB> (Auto) setting will set the correct white balance automatically. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with <AWB>, you can set the white balance manually to suit the respective light source. In the Basic Zone modes, <AWB> will be set automatically.
