Understanding White Balance:
White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic colour casts, so that
objects which appear white are rendered white in your photo. Proper white
balance has to take into account the “colour temperature” of a light source,
which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.

Auto
” may provide better results.
