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 settings for different sources or set it manually by shooting a
white object. In the Basic Zone modes, <Q> will be set automatically.
