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

To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of
lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature is adjusted with
software to make the white areas look white. This adjustment serves as
the basis for the color correction. The result is natural-looking colors in
the pictures.
