White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally,
the Auto [
Q
] (Ambience priority) or [
Q
w ] (White priority) setting will
obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be
obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light
source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
In Basic Zone modes, [
Q
] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In
the <
P
> mode, [
Q
w ] (White priority) is set.)
